CCUSD Commodity   8,757  275.00  3.24%   
The Simple Regression forecasted value of Cocoa on the next trading day is expected to be 10,346 with a mean absolute deviation of 692.22 and the sum of the absolute errors of 42,917. Investors can use prediction functions to forecast Cocoa's commodity prices and determine the direction of Cocoa's future trends based on various well-known forecasting models. However, exclusively looking at the historical price movement is usually misleading.
  
Simple Regression model is a single variable regression model that attempts to put a straight line through Cocoa price points. This line is defined by its gradient or slope, and the point at which it intercepts the x-axis. Mathematically, assuming the independent variable is X and the dependent variable is Y, then this line can be represented as: Y = intercept + slope * X.

Cocoa Simple Regression Price Forecast For the 27th of February

Given 90 days horizon, the Simple Regression forecasted value of Cocoa on the next trading day is expected to be 10,346 with a mean absolute deviation of 692.22, mean absolute percentage error of 747,259, and the sum of the absolute errors of 42,917.
Please note that although there have been many attempts to predict Cocoa Commodity prices using its time series forecasting, we generally do not recommend using it to place bets in the real market. The most commonly used models for forecasting predictions are the autoregressive models, which specify that Cocoa's next future price depends linearly on its previous prices and some stochastic term (i.e., imperfectly predictable multiplier).

Cocoa Forecasted Value

In the context of forecasting Cocoa's Commodity value on the next trading day, we examine the predictive performance of the model to find good statistically significant boundaries of downside and upside scenarios. Cocoa's downside and upside margins for the forecasting period are 10,342 and 10,350, respectively. We have considered Cocoa's daily market price to evaluate the above model's predictive performance. Remember, however, there is no scientific proof or empirical evidence that traditional linear or nonlinear forecasting models outperform artificial intelligence and frequency domain models to provide accurate forecasts consistently.

Note that when a statistical model is used to represent Cocoa commodity, the representation will rarely be exact; so some information will be lost using the model to explain the process. AIC estimates the relative amount of information lost by a given model: the less information a model loses, the higher its quality.

In general, regression methods applied to historical equity returns or prices series is an area of active research. In recent decades, new methods have been developed for robust regression of price series such as Cocoa historical returns. These new methods are regression involving correlated responses such as growth curves and different regression methods accommodating various types of missing data.
