3-year moving averages:

To calculate the 3-year moving average, we need to take the average of the current year and the two
previous years. We can start calculating the 3-year moving averages from 2007 since we need data from
two previous years to start with.

5-year moving averages:


To calculate the 5-year moving average, we need to take the average of the current year and the four
previous years. We can start calculating the 5-year moving averages from 2009 since we need data from
four previous years to start with.
