另一种不使用numpy或pandas找到移动平均线的方法

import itertools
sample = [2, 6, 10, 8, 11, 10]
list(itertools.starmap(
    lambda a,b: b/a, 
    enumerate(itertools.accumulate(sample), 1))
)

将打印[2.0,4.0,6.0,6.5,7.4,7.83333333333333333]

2.0 = (2)/1 4.0 is (2 + 6) / 2 6.0 = (2 + 6 + 10) / 3 .

从其他答案来看，我不认为这是问题所要求的，但我需要保持一个不断增长的值列表的运行平均值。

因此，如果你想保持从某个地方(站点，测量设备等)获取的值的列表和最近n个值更新的平均值，你可以使用下面的代码，这将最大限度地减少添加新元素的工作:

class Running_Average(object):
    def __init__(self, buffer_size=10):
        """
        Create a new Running_Average object.

        This object allows the efficient calculation of the average of the last
        `buffer_size` numbers added to it.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> a = Running_Average(2)
        >>> a.add(1)
        >>> a.get()
        1.0
        >>> a.add(1)  # there are two 1 in buffer
        >>> a.get()
        1.0
        >>> a.add(2)  # there's a 1 and a 2 in the buffer
        >>> a.get()
        1.5
        >>> a.add(2)
        >>> a.get()  # now there's only two 2 in the buffer
        2.0

你可以测试它，例如:

def graph_test(N=200):
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    values = list(range(N))
    values_average_calculator = Running_Average(N/2)
    values_averages = []
    for value in values:
        values_average_calculator.add(value)
        values_averages.append(values_average_calculator())
    fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)
    ax.plot(values, label='values')
    ax.plot(values_averages, label='averages')
    ax.grid()
    ax.set_xlim(0, N)
    ax.set_ylim(0, N)
    fig.show()

有关现成的解决方案，请参见https://scipy-cookbook.readthedocs.io/items/SignalSmooth.html。 它提供了平窗类型的运行平均值。请注意，这比简单的do-it-yourself卷积方法要复杂一些，因为它试图通过反射数据来处理数据开头和结尾的问题(在您的情况下可能有效，也可能无效……)。

首先，你可以试着:

a = np.random.random(100)
plt.plot(a)
b = smooth(a, window='flat')
plt.plot(b)

你可以用以下方法计算运行平均值:

import numpy as np

def runningMean(x, N):
    y = np.zeros((len(x),))
    for ctr in range(len(x)):
         y[ctr] = np.sum(x[ctr:(ctr+N)])
    return y/N

但是速度很慢。

幸运的是，numpy包含一个卷积函数，我们可以用它来加快速度。运行均值相当于将x与一个长度为N的向量进行卷积，其中所有元素都等于1/N。卷积的numpy实现包括起始瞬态，所以你必须删除前N-1点:

def runningMeanFast(x, N):
    return np.convolve(x, np.ones((N,))/N)[(N-1):]

在我的机器上，快速版本要快20-30倍，这取决于输入向量的长度和平均窗口的大小。

请注意，卷积确实包括一个“相同”模式，它似乎应该解决开始的瞬态问题，但它在开始和结束之间分割。

这个问题现在甚至比NeXuS上个月写的时候更古老，但我喜欢他的代码处理边缘情况的方式。然而，因为它是一个“简单移动平均”，它的结果滞后于它们应用的数据。我认为，通过对基于卷积()的方法应用类似的方法，可以以比NumPy的模式valid、same和full更令人满意的方式处理边缘情况。

我的贡献使用了一个中央运行平均值，以使其结果与他们的数据相一致。当可供使用的全尺寸窗口的点太少时，将从数组边缘的连续较小窗口计算运行平均值。[实际上，从连续较大的窗口，但这是一个实现细节。]

import numpy as np

def running_mean(l, N):
    # Also works for the(strictly invalid) cases when N is even.
    if (N//2)*2 == N:
        N = N - 1
    front = np.zeros(N//2)
    back = np.zeros(N//2)

    for i in range(1, (N//2)*2, 2):
        front[i//2] = np.convolve(l[:i], np.ones((i,))/i, mode = 'valid')
    for i in range(1, (N//2)*2, 2):
        back[i//2] = np.convolve(l[-i:], np.ones((i,))/i, mode = 'valid')
    return np.concatenate([front, np.convolve(l, np.ones((N,))/N, mode = 'valid'), back[::-1]])

它相对较慢，因为它使用了卷积()，并且可能会被真正的Pythonista修饰很多，但是，我相信这个想法是成立的。

更新:已经提出了更有效的解决方案，scipy的uniform_filter1d可能是“标准”第三方库中最好的，还有一些更新的或专门的库可用。

你可以用np。卷积得到:

np.convolve(x, np.ones(N)/N, mode='valid')

解释

The running mean is a case of the mathematical operation of convolution. For the running mean, you slide a window along the input and compute the mean of the window's contents. For discrete 1D signals, convolution is the same thing, except instead of the mean you compute an arbitrary linear combination, i.e., multiply each element by a corresponding coefficient and add up the results. Those coefficients, one for each position in the window, are sometimes called the convolution kernel. The arithmetic mean of N values is (x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_N) / N, so the corresponding kernel is (1/N, 1/N, ..., 1/N), and that's exactly what we get by using np.ones(N)/N.

边缘

np的模态参数。Convolve指定如何处理边缘。我在这里选择有效模式，因为我认为这是大多数人期望的运行方式，但您可能有其他优先级。下面是一个图表，说明了模式之间的差异:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
modes = ['full', 'same', 'valid']
for m in modes:
    plt.plot(np.convolve(np.ones(200), np.ones(50)/50, mode=m));
plt.axis([-10, 251, -.1, 1.1]);
plt.legend(modes, loc='lower center');
plt.show()
