我还没有检查这有多快，但你可以试试:

from collections import deque

cache = deque() # keep track of seen values
n = 10          # window size
A = xrange(100) # some dummy iterable
cum_sum = 0     # initialize cumulative sum

for t, val in enumerate(A, 1):
    cache.append(val)
    cum_sum += val
    if t < n:
        avg = cum_sum / float(t)
    else:                           # if window is saturated,
        cum_sum -= cache.popleft()  # subtract oldest value
        avg = cum_sum / float(n)

上述所有的解决方案都很差，因为它们缺乏

由于本机python而不是numpy向量化实现， 数值稳定性，由于numpy使用不当。cumsum或 由于O(len(x) * w)实现为卷积的速度。

鉴于

import numpy
m = 10000
x = numpy.random.rand(m)
w = 1000

注意x_[:w].sum()等于x[:w-1].sum()。因此，对于第一个平均值，numpy.cumsum(…)加上x[w] / w(通过x_[w+1] / w)，并减去0(从x_[0] / w)。结果是x[0:w].mean()

通过cumsum，您将通过添加x[w+1] / w并减去x[0] / w来更新第二个平均值，从而得到x[1:w+1].mean()。

这将一直进行，直到到达x[-w:].mean()。

x_ = numpy.insert(x, 0, 0)
sliding_average = x_[:w].sum() / w + numpy.cumsum(x_[w:] - x_[:-w]) / w

这个解是向量化的，O(m)，可读且数值稳定。

另一个解决方案是使用标准库和deque:

from collections import deque
import itertools

def moving_average(iterable, n=3):
    # http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average
    it = iter(iterable) 
    # create an iterable object from input argument
    d = deque(itertools.islice(it, n-1))  
    # create deque object by slicing iterable
    d.appendleft(0)
    s = sum(d)
    for elem in it:
        s += elem - d.popleft()
        d.append(elem)
        yield s / n

# example on how to use it
for i in  moving_average([40, 30, 50, 46, 39, 44]):
    print(i)

# 40.0
# 42.0
# 45.0
# 43.0

我还没有检查这有多快，但你可以试试:

from collections import deque

cache = deque() # keep track of seen values
n = 10          # window size
A = xrange(100) # some dummy iterable
cum_sum = 0     # initialize cumulative sum

for t, val in enumerate(A, 1):
    cache.append(val)
    cum_sum += val
    if t < n:
        avg = cum_sum / float(t)
    else:                           # if window is saturated,
        cum_sum -= cache.popleft()  # subtract oldest value
        avg = cum_sum / float(n)

Python标准库解决方案

这个生成器函数接受一个可迭代对象和一个窗口大小为N的值，并生成窗口内当前值的平均值。它使用了deque，这是一种类似于列表的数据结构，但针对在两端进行快速修改(弹出、追加)进行了优化。

from collections import deque
from itertools import islice

def sliding_avg(iterable, N):        
    it = iter(iterable)
    window = deque(islice(it, N))        
    num_vals = len(window)

    if num_vals < N:
        msg = 'window size {} exceeds total number of values {}'
        raise ValueError(msg.format(N, num_vals))

    N = float(N) # force floating point division if using Python 2
    s = sum(window)
    
    while True:
        yield s/N
        try:
            nxt = next(it)
        except StopIteration:
            break
        s = s - window.popleft() + nxt
        window.append(nxt)
        

下面是函数的运行情况:

>>> values = range(100)
>>> N = 5
>>> window_avg = sliding_avg(values, N)
>>> 
>>> next(window_avg) # (0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4)/5
>>> 2.0
>>> next(window_avg) # (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5)/5
>>> 3.0
>>> next(window_avg) # (2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6)/5
>>> 4.0

对于一个简短、快速的解决方案，在一个循环中完成所有事情，没有依赖关系，下面的代码工作得很好。

mylist = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
N = 3
cumsum, moving_aves = [0], []

for i, x in enumerate(mylist, 1):
    cumsum.append(cumsum[i-1] + x)
    if i>=N:
        moving_ave = (cumsum[i] - cumsum[i-N])/N
        #can do stuff with moving_ave here
        moving_aves.append(moving_ave)
