Add Simple Moving Average (SMA) Calculation (#9300)
* Add Simple Moving Average (SMA) Calculation

This commit adds a Python script for calculating the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of a time series data.

The script also includes a doctest that verifies the correctness of the SMA calculations for a sample dataset.

Usage:
- Run the script with your own time series data and specify the window size for SMA calculations.

"""
The Simple Moving Average (SMA) is a statistical calculation used to analyze data points
by creating a constantly updated average price over a specific time period.
In finance, SMA is often used in time series analysis to smooth out price data
and identify trends.
