Talib包含一个简单的移动平均工具，以及其他类似的平均工具(即指数移动平均)。下面将该方法与其他一些解决方案进行比较。

%timeit pd.Series(np.arange(100000)).rolling(3).mean()
2.53 ms ± 40.5 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)

%timeit talib.SMA(real = np.arange(100000.), timeperiod = 3)
348 µs ± 3.5 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

%timeit moving_average(np.arange(100000))
638 µs ± 45.1 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

需要注意的是，real必须有dtype = float的元素。否则将引发以下错误

例外:实不是双的

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()}')

这个使用Pandas的答案是从上面改编的，因为rolling_mean不再是Pandas的一部分了

# the recommended syntax to import pandas
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

# prepare some fake data:
# the date-time indices:
t = pd.date_range('1/1/2010', '12/31/2012', freq='D')

# the data:
x = np.arange(0, t.shape[0])

# combine the data & index into a Pandas 'Series' object
D = pd.Series(x, t)

现在，只需要在窗口大小的数据框架上调用滚动函数，在下面的例子中，窗口大小是10天。

d_mva10 = D.rolling(10).mean()

# d_mva is the same size as the original Series
# though obviously the first w values are NaN where w is the window size
d_mva10[:11]

2010-01-01    NaN
2010-01-02    NaN
2010-01-03    NaN
2010-01-04    NaN
2010-01-05    NaN
2010-01-06    NaN
2010-01-07    NaN
2010-01-08    NaN
2010-01-09    NaN
2010-01-10    4.5
2010-01-11    5.5
Freq: D, dtype: float64

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])

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。
