Consider the C02
readings from Mauna Loa in Table B.14. Use a six-period moving average to smooth the data. Plot both the smoothed data and the original C02
readings on the same axes. What has the moving average done? Repeat the procedure with a three-period moving average. What is the effect of changing the span of the moving average?
