Computing the ratio of the seasonal (three month) means #6

@farhadsalimi, @ozjimbob The 2009 work for the 2011 paper used a rolling centred 90 day mean. NB -45 and + 44 after reading the SAS CMOVAVE info as this is what it does when given an even number (90).

Is this worth recreating in R? Latest codes at https://github.com/swish-climate-impact-assessment/BiosmokeValidatedEvents/blame/master/inst/doc/impute_aphea2_sydney_pm25.Rmd#L200 use calendar seasons DJF (Summer), MAM, JJA, SON.

@ivanhanigan I don't believe it is really worth it as Katsouyanni et al, even used yearly ratio (http://pubs.healtheffects.org/getfile.php?u=518), page 10

I also believe it is not really worth it, but not because Katsouyanni used yearly. I suspect they did that because it was easier not because they thought it wouldn't matter. I think we should check what is difference between your 3 monthly calendar season approach and my rolling 3-mo-centred approach. But not this week.
