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 SJM 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


Primary Trend

Start date: October 25, 2022
End date: November 20, 2024

a = 5.4267

b = -0.0004

s = 0.0680

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0004) – 1
= -13.86%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0680) – 1
= 31.26%

October 25, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y736)
= Exp(a + b × X736 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,069 + 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4267 + -0.0004 × 1,069 + 2 × 0.0680)
= Exp(5.1256)
= $168.28

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y736)
= Exp(a + b × X736 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,069 – 2 × s)
= Exp(5.4267 + -0.0004 × 1,069 – 2 × 0.0680)
= Exp(4.8536)
= $128.20

= Exp(4.8161)
= $123.48

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,257)
