不需要将极大值与平均值进行比较，还可以将极大值与相邻的最小值进行比较，其中最小值仅定义在噪声阈值之上。 如果局部最大值是>的3倍(或其他置信因子)相邻的最小值，那么这个最大值就是一个峰值。 移动窗口越宽，峰值的确定越准确。 上面使用了以窗口中间为中心的计算， 顺便说一下，而不是在窗口结束时计算(== lag)。

请注意，最大值必须被视为信号之前的增加 之后下降。

如果你的数据在一个数据库表中，这里是一个简单的z-score算法的SQL版本:

with data_with_zscore as (
    select
        date_time,
        value,
        value / (avg(value) over ()) as pct_of_mean,
        (value - avg(value) over ()) / (stdev(value) over ()) as z_score
    from {{tablename}}  where datetime > '2018-11-26' and datetime < '2018-12-03'
)


-- select all
select * from data_with_zscore 

-- select only points greater than a certain threshold
select * from data_with_zscore where z_score > abs(2)

我为Jean-Paul最受欢迎的答案写了一个Go包。它假设y值的类型为float64。

github.com/MicahParks/peakdetect

下面的示例使用了这个包，并基于上面提到的流行答案中的R示例。它在编译时没有任何依赖关系，试图保持较低的内存占用，并且在有新数据点进入时不重新处理过去的点。该项目有100%的测试覆盖率，主要来自上述R示例的输入和输出。但是，如果有人发现任何错误，请打开一个GitHub问题。

编辑:我对v0.0.5进行了性能改进，似乎快了10倍!它使用Welford的方法进行初始化，并使用类似的方法计算滞后期(滑动窗口)的平均值和总体标准偏差。特别感谢另一个帖子的回答:https://stackoverflow.com/a/14638138/14797322

如果边界值或其他标准取决于未来值，那么唯一的解决方案(没有时间机器，或其他关于未来值的知识)是推迟任何决定，直到有足够的未来值。如果你想要一个高于均值的水平，例如，20点，那么你必须等到你至少有19点才能做出任何峰值决策，否则下一个新点可能会完全超过你19点之前的阈值。

Added: If the statistical distribution of the peak heights could be heavy tailed, instead of Uniform or Gaussian, then you may need to wait until you see several thousand peaks before it starts to become unlikely that a hidden Pareto distribution won't produce a peak many times larger than any you currently have seen before or have in your current plot. Unless you somehow know in advance that the very next point can't be 1e20, it could appear, which after rescaling your plot's Y dimension, would be flat up until that point.
