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

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。

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

下面是一个使用numba的快速实现(注意类型)。注意它确实包含移位的nan。

import numpy as np
import numba as nb

@nb.jit(nb.float64[:](nb.float64[:],nb.int64),
        fastmath=True,nopython=True)
def moving_average( array, window ):    
    ret = np.cumsum(array)
    ret[window:] = ret[window:] - ret[:-window]
    ma = ret[window - 1:] / window
    n = np.empty(window-1); n.fill(np.nan)
    return np.concatenate((n.ravel(), ma.ravel())) 

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

    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;

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.

for i in range(len(Data)):

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。
