Which of the following statements are correct?

A. If $x_1,x_2,x_3,\dots,x_n$ is the given annual time series, then 3-yearly moving averages are $\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3},\dfrac{x_2+x_3+x_4}{3},\dots\dots$

B. In the method of the least squares, if $(t_1,y_1),(t_2,y_2),\dots(t_n,y_n)$ denote the time series and $y_t$ are trend values of $y$, then $\sum(y-y_t)=0$

C. In the method of the least squares, the sum of squares of the deviations of the values of $y$ from their corresponding trend values is least.

D. The rise in prices before Diwali is an example of a cyclical trend.
