这里有许多实现这一点的方法，以及一些基准测试。最好的方法是使用来自其他库的优化代码。瓶颈。Move_mean方法可能是最好的方法。scipy。卷积方法也非常快，可扩展，并且语法和概念简单，但是对于非常大的窗口值不能很好地扩展。numpy。如果你需要一个纯numpy方法，Cumsum方法是很好的。

注意:其中一些(例如:瓶颈。move_mean)不是居中的，并且会转移你的数据。

所有的答案似乎都集中在预先计算的列表的情况下。对于实际运行的用例，数字一个接一个地进来，这里有一个简单的类，它提供了对最后N个值求平均的服务:

import numpy as np
class RunningAverage():
    def __init__(self, stack_size):
        self.stack = [0 for _ in range(stack_size)]
        self.ptr = 0
        self.full_cycle = False
    def add(self,value):
        self.stack[self.ptr] = value
        self.ptr += 1
        if self.ptr == len(self.stack):
            self.full_cycle = True
            self.ptr = 0
    def get_avg(self):
        if self.full_cycle:
            return np.mean(self.stack)
        else:
            return np.mean(self.stack[:self.ptr])

用法:

N = 50  # size of the averaging window
run_avg = RunningAverage(N)
for i in range(1000):
    value = <my computation>
    run_avg.add(value)
    if i % 20 ==0: # print once in 20 iters:
        print(f'the average value is {run_avg.get_avg()}')

从Numpy 1.20开始，sliding_window_view提供了一种在元素窗口中滑动/滚动的方法。然后你可以分别取平均值。

例如，对于一个4元素的窗口:

from numpy.lib.stride_tricks import sliding_window_view

# values = np.array([5, 3, 8, 10, 2, 1, 5, 1, 0, 2])
np.average(sliding_window_view(values, window_shape = 4), axis=1)
# array([6.5, 5.75, 5.25, 4.5, 2.25, 1.75, 2])

注意sliding_window_view的中间结果:

# values = np.array([5, 3, 8, 10, 2, 1, 5, 1, 0, 2])
sliding_window_view(values, window_shape = 4)
# array([[ 5,  3,  8, 10],
#        [ 3,  8, 10,  2],
#        [ 8, 10,  2,  1],
#        [10,  2,  1,  5],
#        [ 2,  1,  5,  1],
#        [ 1,  5,  1,  0],
#        [ 5,  1,  0,  2]])

下面是一个使用numba的快速实现(注意类型)。注意它确实包含移位的nan。

import numpy as np
import numba as nb

@nb.jit(nb.float64[:](nb.float64[:],nb.int64),
        fastmath=True,nopython=True)
def moving_average( array, window ):    
    ret = np.cumsum(array)
    ret[window:] = ret[window:] - ret[:-window]
    ma = ret[window - 1:] / window
    n = np.empty(window-1); n.fill(np.nan)
    return np.concatenate((n.ravel(), ma.ravel())) 

如果你已经有一个已知大小的数组

import numpy as np                                         
M=np.arange(12)
                                                               
avg=[]                                                         
i=0
while i<len(M)-2: #for n point average len(M) - (n-1)
        avg.append((M[i]+M[i+1]+M[i+2])/3) #n is denominator                       
        i+=1     
                                                                                                    
print(avg)

您也可以编写自己的Python C扩展。

这当然不是最简单的方法，但与使用np相比，这将使您运行得更快，内存效率更高。堆积:作为建筑块的堆积

// moving_average.c
#define NPY_NO_DEPRECATED_API NPY_1_7_API_VERSION
#include <Python.h>
#include <numpy/arrayobject.h>

static PyObject *moving_average(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) {

    if (PyErr_Occurred()) return NULL;
    if (!PyArray_Check(input) || !PyArray_ISNUMBER((PyArrayObject *)input)) {
        PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "First argument must be a numpy array with numeric dtype");
        return NULL;
    }
    
    int64_t input_size = PyObject_Size(input);
    double *input_data;
    if (PyArray_AsCArray(&input, &input_data, (npy_intp[]){ [0] = input_size }, 1, PyArray_DescrFromType(NPY_DOUBLE)) != 0) {
        PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "Failed to simulate C array of type double");
        return NULL;
    }
    
    int64_t output_size = input_size - window_size + 1;
    PyObject *output = PyArray_SimpleNew(1, (npy_intp[]){ [0] = output_size }, NPY_DOUBLE);
    double *output_data = PyArray_DATA((PyArrayObject *)output);
    
    double cumsum_before = 0;
    double cumsum_after = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < window_size; ++i) {
        cumsum_after += input_data[i];
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < output_size - 1; ++i) {
        output_data[i] = (cumsum_after - cumsum_before) / window_size;
        cumsum_after += input_data[i + window_size];
        cumsum_before += input_data[i];
    }
    output_data[output_size - 1] = (cumsum_after - cumsum_before) / window_size;

    return output;
}

static PyMethodDef methods[] = {
    {
        "moving_average", 
        moving_average, 
        METH_VARARGS, 
        "Rolling mean of numpy array with specified window size"

};

PyMODINIT_FUNC PyInit_moving_average(void) {
    PyObject *module = PyModule_Create(&moduledef);
    import_array();
    return module;
}

METH_VARARGS specifies that the method only takes positional arguments. PyArg_ParseTuple allows you to parse these positional arguments. By using PyErr_SetString and returning NULL from the method, you can signal that an exception has occurred to the Python interpreter from the C extension. PyArray_AsCArray allows your method to be polymorphic when it comes to input array dtype, alignment, whether the array is C-contiguous (See "Can a numpy 1d array not be contiguous?") etc. without needing to create a copy of the array. If you instead used PyArray_DATA, you'd need to deal with this yourself. PyArray_SimpleNew allows you to create a new numpy array. This is similar to using np.empty. The array will not be initialized, and might contain non-deterministic junk which could surprise you if you forget to overwrite it.
