通过比较下面的解决方案与使用cumsum of numpy的解决方案，这个解决方案几乎花费了一半的时间。这是因为它不需要遍历整个数组来做cumsum，然后做所有的减法。此外，如果数组很大且数量很大(可能溢出)，cumsum可能是“危险的”。当然，这里也存在危险，但至少我们只把重要的数字加在一起。

def moving_average(array_numbers, n):
    if n > len(array_numbers):
      return []
    temp_sum = sum(array_numbers[:n])
    averages = [temp_sum / float(n)]
    for first_index, item in enumerate(array_numbers[n:]):
        temp_sum += item - array_numbers[first_index]
        averages.append(temp_sum / float(n))
    return averages

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])

for i in range(len(Data)):
    Data[i, 1] = Data[i-lookback:i, 0].sum() / lookback

试试这段代码。我认为这样更简单，也能达到目的。 回望是移动平均线的窗口。

在Data[i-lookback:i, 0].sum()中，我放了0来指代数据集的第一列，但如果你有多个列，你可以放任何你喜欢的列。

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) {
    PyObject *input;
    int64_t window_size;
    PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "Ol", &input, &window_size);
    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"
    },
    {NULL, NULL, 0, NULL}
};

static struct PyModuleDef moduledef = {
    PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT,

};

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.

# Answer by Jaime using npcumsum

print('window_size = 3')
%timeit moving_average_c(a, 3)

4.52 ms ± 15.4 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)
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)

我觉得使用瓶颈可以很容易地解决这个问题

参见下面的基本示例:

import numpy as np
import bottleneck as bn

a = np.random.randint(4, 1000, size=(5, 7))
mm = bn.move_mean(a, window=2, min_count=1)

这就给出了每个轴上的移动平均值。

“mm”是“a”的移动平均值。 “窗口”是考虑移动均值的最大条目数。 "min_count"是考虑移动平均值的最小条目数(例如，对于第一个元素或如果数组有nan值)。

好在瓶颈有助于处理nan值，而且非常高效。

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
