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)

我的解决方案是基于维基百科上的“简单移动平均”。

from numba import jit
@jit
def sma(x, N):
    s = np.zeros_like(x)
    k = 1 / N
    s[0] = x[0] * k
    for i in range(1, N + 1):
        s[i] = s[i - 1] + x[i] * k
    for i in range(N, x.shape[0]):
        s[i] = s[i - 1] + (x[i] - x[i - N]) * k
    s = s[N - 1:]
    return s

与之前建议的解决方案相比，它比scipy最快的解决方案“uniform_filter1d”快两倍，并且具有相同的错误顺序。 速度测试:

import numpy as np    
x = np.random.random(10000000)
N = 1000

from scipy.ndimage.filters import uniform_filter1d
%timeit uniform_filter1d(x, size=N)
95.7 ms ± 9.34 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)
%timeit sma(x, N)
47.3 ms ± 3.42 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

错误的比较:

np.max(np.abs(np.convolve(x, np.ones((N,))/N, mode='valid') - uniform_filter1d(x, size=N, mode='constant', origin=-(N//2))[:-(N-1)]))
8.604228440844963e-14
np.max(np.abs(np.convolve(x, np.ones((N,))/N, mode='valid') - sma(x, N)))

在我在Tradewave.net的测试中，TA-lib总是赢:

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()

使用@Aikude的变量，我编写了一行程序。

import numpy as np

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

mean = [np.mean(mylist[x:x+N]) for x in range(len(mylist)-N+1)]
print(mean)

>>> [2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0]

我知道这是一个老问题，但这里有一个解决方案，它不使用任何额外的数据结构或库。它在输入列表的元素数量上是线性的，我想不出任何其他方法来使它更有效(实际上，如果有人知道更好的分配结果的方法，请告诉我)。

注意:使用numpy数组而不是列表会快得多，但我想消除所有依赖关系。通过多线程执行也可以提高性能

该函数假设输入列表是一维的，所以要小心。

### Running mean/Moving average
def running_mean(l, N):
    sum = 0
    result = list( 0 for x in l)

    for i in range( 0, N ):
        sum = sum + l[i]
        result[i] = sum / (i+1)

    for i in range( N, len(l) ):
        sum = sum - l[i-N] + l[i]
        result[i] = sum / N

    return result

例子

假设我们有一个列表data =[1,2,3,4,5,6]，我们想在它上面计算周期为3的滚动平均值，并且你还想要一个与输入列表相同大小的输出列表(这是最常见的情况)。

第一个元素的索引为0，因此滚动平均值应该在索引为-2、-1和0的元素上计算。显然，我们没有data[-2]和data[-1](除非您想使用特殊的边界条件)，因此我们假设这些元素为0。这相当于对列表进行零填充，除了我们实际上不填充它，只是跟踪需要填充的索引(从0到N-1)。

所以，对于前N个元素，我们只是在累加器中不断地把元素加起来。

result[0] = (0 + 0 + 1) / 3  = 0.333    ==   (sum + 1) / 3
result[1] = (0 + 1 + 2) / 3  = 1        ==   (sum + 2) / 3
result[2] = (1 + 2 + 3) / 3  = 2        ==   (sum + 3) / 3

从元素N+1开始，简单的累加是行不通的。我们期望的结果是[3]=(2 + 3 + 4)/3 = 3，但这与(sum + 4)/3 = 3.333不同。

计算正确值的方法是用sum+4减去数据[0]= 1，从而得到sum+4 - 1 = 9。

这是因为目前sum =数据[0]+数据[1]+数据[2]，但对于每个i >= N也是如此，因为在减法之前，sum是数据[i-N] +…+ data[i-2] + data[i-1]。
