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 MMS 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 = 3.6932
b = 0.0005
s = 0.0709
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0005) – 1
= 18.47%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0709) – 1
= 32.79%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y618)
= Exp(a + b × X618 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 897 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6932 + 0.0005 × 897 + 2 × 0.0709)
= Exp(4.2516)
= $70.22
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y618)
= Exp(a + b × X618 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 897 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.6932 + 0.0005 × 897 – 2 × 0.0709)
= Exp(3.9680)
= $52.88
