Yt= Tt·Ct·St·It

Tt: The trend component

Ct: The cyclic component

St: The seasonal component

It: The irregular component

1. Add up the first four values in a time series, then divide by four.

2. Repeat this computation, but the initial quarter is dropped and the fifth is added.

3. Continue this process until you run out of new quarters.
