Linear Regression Model

Model equation:
Yi = α + β × Xi + εi

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi + 2 × s)

Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi – 2 × s)

where:

i - observation number
Yi - natural logarithm of URI price
Xi - time index, 1 day interval
σ - standard deviation of εi
a - estimator of α
b - estimator of β
s - estimator of σ
Exp() - calculates the exponent of e

a = 4.8693

b = 0.0013

s = 0.1001

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0013) – 1
= 58.85%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1001) – 1
= 49.25%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y349)
= Exp(a + b × X349 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 508 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8693 + 0.0013 × 508 + 2 × 0.1001)
= Exp(5.7136)
= $302.96

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y349)
= Exp(a + b × X349 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 508 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8693 + 0.0013 × 508 – 2 × 0.1001)
= Exp(5.3131)
= $202.99
