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 MMC 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 = 4.8708
b = 0.0002
s = 0.0489
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0002) – 1
= 7.29%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0489) – 1
= 21.59%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y403)
= Exp(a + b × X403 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 587 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8708 + 0.0002 × 587 + 2 × 0.0489)
= Exp(5.0818)
= $161.06
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y403)
= Exp(a + b × X403 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 587 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8708 + 0.0002 × 587 – 2 × 0.0489)
= Exp(4.8863)
= $132.46

= Exp(5.2197)
= $184.88
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y896)
= Exp(a + b × X896 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,302 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.8708 + 0.0002 × 1,302 – 2 × 0.0489)
