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

如果你必须为非常小的数组(少于200个元素)重复这样做，我发现只用线性代数就能得到最快的结果。 最慢的部分是建立你的乘法矩阵y，你只需要做一次，但之后可能会更快。

import numpy as np
import random 

N = 100      # window size
size =200     # array length

x = np.random.random(size)
y = np.eye(size, dtype=float)

# prepare matrix
for i in range(size):
  y[i,i:i+N] = 1./N
  
# calculate running mean
z = np.inner(x,y.T)[N-1:]

你可以使用scipy. nmage .uniform_filter1d:

import numpy as np
from scipy.ndimage import uniform_filter1d
N = 1000
x = np.random.random(100000)
y = uniform_filter1d(x, size=N)

uniform_filter1d:

给出具有相同numpy形状的输出(即点数) 允许多种方式处理边界，其中'reflect'是默认的，但在我的情况下，我更想要'nearest'

它也相当快(比np快近50倍)。卷积，比上述cumsum方法快2-5倍):

%timeit y1 = np.convolve(x, np.ones((N,))/N, mode='same')
100 loops, best of 3: 9.28 ms per loop

%timeit y2 = uniform_filter1d(x, size=N)
10000 loops, best of 3: 191 µs per loop

这里有3个函数可以让你比较不同实现的错误/速度:

from __future__ import division
import numpy as np
import scipy.ndimage as ndi
def running_mean_convolve(x, N):
    return np.convolve(x, np.ones(N) / float(N), 'valid')
def running_mean_cumsum(x, N):
    cumsum = np.cumsum(np.insert(x, 0, 0))
    return (cumsum[N:] - cumsum[:-N]) / float(N)
def running_mean_uniform_filter1d(x, N):
    return ndi.uniform_filter1d(x, N, mode='constant', origin=-(N//2))[:-(N-1)]

出于教学目的，让我再添加两个Numpy解决方案(比cumsum解决方案慢):

import numpy as np
from numpy.lib.stride_tricks import as_strided

def ra_strides(arr, window):
    ''' Running average using as_strided'''
    n = arr.shape[0] - window + 1
    arr_strided = as_strided(arr, shape=[n, window], strides=2*arr.strides)
    return arr_strided.mean(axis=1)

def ra_add(arr, window):
    ''' Running average using add.reduceat'''
    n = arr.shape[0] - window + 1
    indices = np.array([0, window]*n) + np.repeat(np.arange(n), 2)
    arr = np.append(arr, 0)
    return np.add.reduceat(arr, indices )[::2]/window

使用的函数:as_strided, add.reduceat

上面有很多关于计算运行平均值的答案。我的回答增加了两个额外的特征:

忽略nan值 计算N个相邻值的平均值，不包括兴趣值本身

这第二个特征对于确定哪些值与总体趋势有一定的差异特别有用。

我使用numpy。cumsum，因为这是最省时的方法(参见上面Alleo的回答)。

N=10 # number of points to test on each side of point of interest, best if even
padded_x = np.insert(np.insert( np.insert(x, len(x), np.empty(int(N/2))*np.nan), 0, np.empty(int(N/2))*np.nan ),0,0)
n_nan = np.cumsum(np.isnan(padded_x))
cumsum = np.nancumsum(padded_x) 
window_sum = cumsum[N+1:] - cumsum[:-(N+1)] - x # subtract value of interest from sum of all values within window
window_n_nan = n_nan[N+1:] - n_nan[:-(N+1)] - np.isnan(x)
window_n_values = (N - window_n_nan)
movavg = (window_sum) / (window_n_values)

这段代码只适用于偶数n。它可以通过改变np来调整奇数。插入padded_x和n_nan。

输出示例(黑色为raw，蓝色为movavg):

这段代码可以很容易地修改，以删除从小于cutoff = 3的非nan值计算的所有移动平均值。

window_n_values = (N - window_n_nan).astype(float) # dtype must be float to set some values to nan
cutoff = 3
window_n_values[window_n_values<cutoff] = np.nan
movavg = (window_sum) / (window_n_values)

更新:下面的例子展示了老熊猫。Rolling_mean函数，该函数在最近版本的pandas中已被删除。该函数调用的现代等价函数将使用pandas.Series.rolling:

In [8]: pd.Series(x).rolling(window=N).mean().iloc[N-1:].values
Out[8]: 
array([ 0.49815397,  0.49844183,  0.49840518, ...,  0.49488191,
        0.49456679,  0.49427121])

pandas比NumPy或SciPy更适合这一点。它的函数rolling_mean很方便地完成了这项工作。当输入是一个数组时，它还返回一个NumPy数组。

使用任何定制的纯Python实现都很难在性能上击败rolling_mean。下面是针对两个提议的解决方案的性能示例:

In [1]: import numpy as np

In [2]: import pandas as pd

In [3]: def running_mean(x, N):
   ...:     cumsum = np.cumsum(np.insert(x, 0, 0)) 
   ...:     return (cumsum[N:] - cumsum[:-N]) / N
   ...:

In [4]: x = np.random.random(100000)

In [5]: N = 1000

In [6]: %timeit np.convolve(x, np.ones((N,))/N, mode='valid')
10 loops, best of 3: 172 ms per loop

In [7]: %timeit running_mean(x, N)
100 loops, best of 3: 6.72 ms per loop

In [8]: %timeit pd.rolling_mean(x, N)[N-1:]
100 loops, best of 3: 4.74 ms per loop

In [9]: np.allclose(pd.rolling_mean(x, N)[N-1:], running_mean(x, N))
Out[9]: True

关于如何处理边缘值，也有很好的选项。
