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)))
1.41886502547095e-13

比起numpy或scipy，我建议熊猫们更快地做到这一点:

df['data'].rolling(3).mean()

这取列“数据”的3个周期的移动平均值(MA)。你也可以计算移位的版本，例如排除当前单元格的版本(向后移位一个)可以很容易地计算为:

df['data'].shift(periods=1).rolling(3).mean()

高效的解决方案

卷积比直接的方法好得多，但(我猜)它使用FFT，因此相当慢。但是，下面的方法特别适用于计算运行平均值

def running_mean(x, N):
    cumsum = numpy.cumsum(numpy.insert(x, 0, 0)) 
    return (cumsum[N:] - cumsum[:-N]) / float(N)

要检查的代码

In[3]: x = numpy.random.random(100000)
In[4]: N = 1000
In[5]: %timeit result1 = numpy.convolve(x, numpy.ones((N,))/N, mode='valid')
10 loops, best of 3: 41.4 ms per loop
In[6]: %timeit result2 = running_mean(x, N)
1000 loops, best of 3: 1.04 ms per loop

注意numpy。allclose(result1, result2)为True，两个方法等价。 N越大，时间差异越大。

警告:虽然cumsum更快，但会增加浮点错误，这可能导致您的结果无效/不正确/不可接受

这里的评论指出了这个浮点错误问题，但我在回答中让它更明显。

# demonstrate loss of precision with only 100,000 points
np.random.seed(42)
x = np.random.randn(100000)+1e6
y1 = running_mean_convolve(x, 10)
y2 = running_mean_cumsum(x, 10)
assert np.allclose(y1, y2, rtol=1e-12, atol=0)

the more points you accumulate over the greater the floating point error (so 1e5 points is noticable, 1e6 points is more significant, more than 1e6 and you may want to resetting the accumulators) you can cheat by using np.longdouble but your floating point error still will get significant for relatively large number of points (around >1e5 but depends on your data) you can plot the error and see it increasing relatively fast the convolve solution is slower but does not have this floating point loss of precision the uniform_filter1d solution is faster than this cumsum solution AND does not have this floating point loss of precision

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]

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()

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
