似乎没有函数可以简单地计算numpy/scipy的移动平均值,这导致了复杂的解决方案。

我的问题有两个方面:

用numpy(正确地)实现移动平均的最简单方法是什么? 既然这似乎不是小事,而且容易出错,有没有一个很好的理由不包括电池在这种情况下?

如果你只想要一个简单的非加权移动平均,你可以很容易地用np实现它。cumsum,可能比基于FFT的方法更快:

def moving_average(a, n=3) :
    ret = np.cumsum(a, dtype=float)
    ret[n:] = ret[n:] - ret[:-n]
    return ret[n - 1:] / n

>>> a = np.arange(20)
>>> moving_average(a)
array([  1.,   2.,   3.,   4.,   5.,   6.,   7.,   8.,   9.,  10.,  11.,
        12.,  13.,  14.,  15.,  16.,  17.,  18.])
>>> moving_average(a, n=4)
array([  1.5,   2.5,   3.5,   4.5,   5.5,   6.5,   7.5,   8.5,   9.5,
        10.5,  11.5,  12.5,  13.5,  14.5,  15.5,  16.5,  17.5])

所以我猜答案是:它真的很容易实现,也许numpy已经有了一些专门的功能。

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,
    "moving_average",
    "C extension for finding the rolling mean of a numpy array",
    -1,
    methods
};

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.

NumPy缺乏特定领域的函数可能是由于核心团队的纪律和对NumPy主要指令的忠实:提供n维数组类型,以及用于创建和索引这些数组的函数。像许多基本目标一样,这个目标并不小,NumPy出色地完成了它。

更大的SciPy包含更大的特定于领域的库集合(被SciPy开发人员称为子包)——例如,数值优化(optimize)、信号处理(signal)和积分(integrate)。

我的猜测是,您要查找的函数至少在SciPy子包中的一个(SciPy。也许信号);然而,我将首先在SciPy scikit集合中查找,确定相关的scikit并在其中寻找感兴趣的函数。

Scikits是基于NumPy/SciPy独立开发的包,并针对特定的技术规程(例如,Scikits -image, Scikits -learn等),其中几个(特别是用于数值优化的令人钦佩的OpenOpt)在选择位于相对较新的Scikits主题之下很久以前就得到了高度重视,成熟的项目。Scikits主页上列出了大约30个这样的Scikits,尽管其中至少有几个已经不再处于积极的开发中。

按照这个建议,你会发现scikits-timeseries;但是,该软件包已不再处于积极开发阶段;实际上,Pandas已经成为AFAIK,事实上的基于numpy的时间序列库。

Pandas有几个函数可以用来计算移动平均线;其中最简单的可能是rolling_mean,你可以这样使用:

>>> # 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,只需调用函数rolling_mean,传入Series对象和窗口大小,在下面的例子中是10天。

>>> d_mva = PD.rolling_mean(D, 10)

>>> # d_mva is the same size as the original Series
>>> d_mva.shape
    (1096,)

>>> # though obviously the first w values are NaN where w is the window size
>>> d_mva[:3]
    2010-01-01         NaN
    2010-01-02         NaN
    2010-01-03         NaN

The function rolling_mean, along with about a dozen or so other function are informally grouped in the Pandas documentation under the rubric moving window functions; a second, related group of functions in Pandas is referred to as exponentially-weighted functions (e.g., ewma, which calculates exponentially moving weighted average). The fact that this second group is not included in the first (moving window functions) is perhaps because the exponentially-weighted transforms don't rely on a fixed-length window

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。

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。
