求列表的平均值

如何在Python中找到列表的平均值?

[1, 2, 3, 4]  ⟶  2.5

我添加了另外两种获取列表平均值的方法(仅适用于Python 3.8+)。下面是我做的比较:

import timeit
import statistics
import numpy as np
from functools import reduce
import pandas as pd
import math

LIST_RANGE = 10
NUMBERS_OF_TIMES_TO_TEST = 10000

l = list(range(LIST_RANGE))

def mean1():
    return statistics.mean(l)


def mean2():
    return sum(l) / len(l)


def mean3():
    return np.mean(l)


def mean4():
    return np.array(l).mean()


def mean5():
    return reduce(lambda x, y: x + y / float(len(l)), l, 0)

def mean6():
    return pd.Series(l).mean()


def mean7():
    return statistics.fmean(l)


def mean8():
    return math.fsum(l) / len(l)


for func in [mean1, mean2, mean3, mean4, mean5, mean6, mean7, mean8 ]:
    print(f"{func.__name__} took: ",  timeit.timeit(stmt=func, number=NUMBERS_OF_TIMES_TO_TEST))

以下是我得到的结果:

mean1 took:  0.09751558300000002
mean2 took:  0.005496791999999973
mean3 took:  0.07754683299999998
mean4 took:  0.055743208000000044
mean5 took:  0.018134082999999968
mean6 took:  0.6663848750000001
mean7 took:  0.004305374999999945
mean8 took:  0.003203333000000086

有趣!看起来math.fsum(l) / len(l)是最快的方法，然后是statistics.fmean(l)，然后是sum(l) / len(l)。好了!

感谢阿斯克勒庇俄斯为我展示了另外两种方式!

旧的回答:

就效率和速度而言，以下是我测试其他答案的结果:

# test mean caculation

import timeit
import statistics
import numpy as np
from functools import reduce
import pandas as pd

LIST_RANGE = 10
NUMBERS_OF_TIMES_TO_TEST = 10000

l = list(range(LIST_RANGE))

def mean1():
    return statistics.mean(l)


def mean2():
    return sum(l) / len(l)


def mean3():
    return np.mean(l)


def mean4():
    return np.array(l).mean()


def mean5():
    return reduce(lambda x, y: x + y / float(len(l)), l, 0)

def mean6():
    return pd.Series(l).mean()



for func in [mean1, mean2, mean3, mean4, mean5, mean6]:
    print(f"{func.__name__} took: ",  timeit.timeit(stmt=func, number=NUMBERS_OF_TIMES_TO_TEST))

结果是:

mean1 took:  0.17030245899968577
mean2 took:  0.002183011999932205
mean3 took:  0.09744236000005913
mean4 took:  0.07070840100004716
mean5 took:  0.022754742999950395
mean6 took:  1.6689282460001778

所以很明显赢家是: Sum (l) / len(l)

对于Python 3.4+，使用新的统计模块中的mean()来计算平均值:

from statistics import mean
xs = [15, 18, 2, 36, 12, 78, 5, 6, 9]
mean(xs)

你可以为平均值，使用率做一个函数:

average(21,343,2983) # You can pass as many arguments as you want.

代码如下:

def average(*args):
    total = 0
    for num in args:
        total+=num
    return total/len(args)

*args允许任意数量的答案。

两者都可以在一个整数或至少10个十进制值上给出接近的值。但如果你真的考虑长浮动值，这两者可能是不同的。方法可以根据你想要达到的目标而有所不同。

>>> l = [15, 18, 2, 36, 12, 78, 5, 6, 9]
>>> print reduce(lambda x, y: x + y, l) / len(l)
20
>>> sum(l)/len(l)
20

浮动值

>>> print reduce(lambda x, y: x + y, l) / float(len(l))
20.1111111111
>>> print sum(l)/float(len(l))
20.1111111111

@Andrew Clark的说法是正确的。

结合上面的几个答案，我提出了以下与reduce一起工作的方法，并且不假设你在reduce函数中有L可用:

from operator import truediv

L = [15, 18, 2, 36, 12, 78, 5, 6, 9]

def sum_and_count(x, y):
    try:
        return (x[0] + y, x[1] + 1)
    except TypeError:
        return (x + y, 2)

truediv(*reduce(sum_and_count, L))

# prints 
20.11111111111111
