这是一个Python实现的鲁棒峰值检测算法算法。

初始化和计算部分被分开，只有filtered_y数组被保留，它的最大大小等于延迟，因此内存没有增加。(结果与上述答案相同)。 为了绘制图形，还保留了标签数组。

我做了一个github要点。

在信号处理中，峰值检测通常采用小波变换。基本上就是对时间序列数据进行离散小波变换。返回的细节系数中的过零将对应于时间序列信号中的峰值。你会在不同的细节系数水平上检测到不同的峰值振幅，这给了你多层次的分辨率。

在计算拓扑学中，持久同调的思想导致一个有效的 -快如排序数字-解决方案。它不仅检测峰值，还以一种自然的方式量化峰值的“重要性”，使您能够选择对您重要的峰值。

算法的总结。 在一维设置(时间序列，实值信号)中，算法可以简单地描述为下图:

Think of the function graph (or its sub-level set) as a landscape and consider a decreasing water level starting at level infinity (or 1.8 in this picture). While the level decreases, at local maxima islands pop up. At local minima these islands merge together. One detail in this idea is that the island that appeared later in time is merged into the island that is older. The "persistence" of an island is its birth time minus its death time. The lengths of the blue bars depict the persistence, which is the above mentioned "significance" of a peak.

效率。 在对函数值进行排序之后，找到一个在线性时间内运行的实现并不难——实际上它是一个单一的、简单的循环。因此，这种实现在实践中应该是快速的，也很容易实现。

我认为delica的Python回答器有一个bug。我不能评论他的帖子，因为我没有代表来做这件事，编辑队列已经满了，所以我可能不是第一个注意到它的人。

avgFilter[lag - 1]和stdFilter[lag - 1]在init中设置，然后在lag == i时再次设置，而不是改变[lag]值。这个结果使得第一个信号总是1。

以下是带有轻微修正的代码:

import numpy as np

class real_time_peak_detection():
    def __init__(self, array, lag, threshold, influence):
        self.y = list(array)
        self.length = len(self.y)
        self.lag = lag
        self.threshold = threshold
        self.influence = influence
        self.signals = [0] * len(self.y)
        self.filteredY = np.array(self.y).tolist()
        self.avgFilter = [0] * len(self.y)
        self.stdFilter = [0] * len(self.y)
        self.avgFilter[self.lag - 1] = np.mean(self.y[0:self.lag]).tolist()
        self.stdFilter[self.lag - 1] = np.std(self.y[0:self.lag]).tolist()

    def thresholding_algo(self, new_value):
        self.y.append(new_value)
        i = len(self.y) - 1
        self.length = len(self.y)
        if i < self.lag:
            return 0
        elif i == self.lag:
            self.signals = [0] * len(self.y)
            self.filteredY = np.array(self.y).tolist()
            self.avgFilter = [0] * len(self.y)
            self.stdFilter = [0] * len(self.y)
            self.avgFilter[self.lag] = np.mean(self.y[0:self.lag]).tolist()
            self.stdFilter[self.lag] = np.std(self.y[0:self.lag]).tolist()
            return 0

        self.signals += [0]
        self.filteredY += [0]

        self.stdFilter += [0]

            if self.y[i] > self.avgFilter[i - 1]:
                self.signals[i] = 1
            else:
                self.signals[i] = -1

            self.filteredY[i] = self.influence * self.y[i] + (1 - self.influence) * self.filteredY[i - 1]
            self.avgFilter[i] = np.mean(self.filteredY[(i - self.lag):i])
            self.stdFilter[i] = np.std(self.filteredY[(i - self.lag):i])
        else:
            self.signals[i] = 0
            self.filteredY[i] = self.y[i]
            self.avgFilter[i] = np.mean(self.filteredY[(i - self.lag):i])
            self.stdFilter[i] = np.std(self.filteredY[(i - self.lag):i])

        return self.signals[i]

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.
