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.
