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

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.

809 µs ± 463 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1,000 loops each)

window_size = 100
977 µs ± 937 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1,000 loops each)
6.16 ms ± 19.1 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)
14.2 ms ± 12.4 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)

实现这一点的一个简单方法是使用np.卷积。 这背后的思想是利用离散卷积的计算方式，并使用它来返回滚动平均值。这可以通过与np序列进行卷积来实现。长度等于我们想要的滑动窗口长度。

为了做到这一点，我们可以定义以下函数:

def moving_average(x, w):
    return np.convolve(x, np.ones(w), 'valid') / w

该函数将对序列x和长度为w的序列进行卷积。注意，所选模式是有效的，因此卷积积只对序列完全重叠的点给出。

一些例子:

x = np.array([5,3,8,10,2,1,5,1,0,2])

对于窗口长度为2的移动平均线，我们有:

moving_average(x, 2)
# array([4. , 5.5, 9. , 6. , 1.5, 3. , 3. , 0.5, 1. ])

对于长度为4的窗口:

moving_average(x, 4)
# array([6.5 , 5.75, 5.25, 4.5 , 2.25, 1.75, 2.  ])

卷积是怎么工作的?

让我们更深入地看看离散卷积是如何计算的。 下面的函数旨在复制np。卷积计算输出值:

def mov_avg(x, w):
    for m in range(len(x)-(w-1)):
        yield sum(np.ones(w) * x[m:m+w]) / w 

对于上面的同一个例子，也会得到:

list(mov_avg(x, 2))
# [4.0, 5.5, 9.0, 6.0, 1.5, 3.0, 3.0, 0.5, 1.0]

所以每一步要做的就是求1数组和当前窗口之间的内积。在这种情况下，乘以np.ones(w)是多余的，因为我们直接取序列的和。

下面是一个计算第一个输出的例子，这样会更清楚一些。假设我们想要一个w=4的窗口:

[1,1,1,1]
[5,3,8,10,2,1,5,1,0,2]
= (1*5 + 1*3 + 1*8 + 1*10) / w = 6.5

下面的输出将被计算为:

  [1,1,1,1]
[5,3,8,10,2,1,5,1,0,2]
= (1*3 + 1*8 + 1*10 + 1*2) / w = 5.75

依此类推，在所有重叠完成后返回序列的移动平均值。

如果你想仔细考虑边缘条件(只从边缘的可用元素计算平均值)，下面的函数可以解决这个问题。

import numpy as np

def running_mean(x, N):
    out = np.zeros_like(x, dtype=np.float64)
    dim_len = x.shape[0]
    for i in range(dim_len):
        if N%2 == 0:
            a, b = i - (N-1)//2, i + (N-1)//2 + 2
        else:
            a, b = i - (N-1)//2, i + (N-1)//2 + 1

        #cap indices to min and max indices
        a = max(0, a)
        b = min(dim_len, b)
        out[i] = np.mean(x[a:b])
    return out

>>> running_mean(np.array([1,2,3,4]), 2)
array([1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4. ])

>>> running_mean(np.array([1,2,3,4]), 3)
array([1.5, 2. , 3. , 3.5])

如果你只想要一个简单的非加权移动平均，你可以很容易地用np实现它。cumsum，可能比基于FFT的方法更快:

修正了Bean在代码中发现的偏离一的错误索引。编辑

def moving_average(a, n=3) :
    ret = np.cumsum(a, dtype=float)
    ret[n:] = ret[n:] - ret[:-n]
    return ret[n - 1:] / n

>>> a = np.arange(20)
>>> moving_average(a)
array([  1.,   2.,   3.,   4.,   5.,   6.,   7.,   8.,   9.,  10.,  11.,
        12.,  13.,  14.,  15.,  16.,  17.,  18.])
>>> moving_average(a, n=4)
array([  1.5,   2.5,   3.5,   4.5,   5.5,   6.5,   7.5,   8.5,   9.5,
        10.5,  11.5,  12.5,  13.5,  14.5,  15.5,  16.5,  17.5])

所以我猜答案是:它真的很容易实现，也许numpy已经有了一些专门的功能。

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)

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。
