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 MCD 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 = 5.5648
b = 0.0000
s = 0.0493
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0000) – 1
= 0.82%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0493) – 1
= 21.77%

= Exp(5.5648 + 0.0000 × 1,072 + 2 × 0.0493)
= Exp(5.6874)
= $295.11
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y739)
= Exp(a + b × X739 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,072 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.5648 + 0.0000 × 1,072 – 2 × 0.0493)
