Moving average or running mean

Question

Is there a SciPy function or NumPy function or module for Python that calculates the running mean of a 1D array given a specific window?

Answer 1

Although there are solutions for this question here, please take a look at my solution. It is very simple and working well.

import numpy as np
dataset = np.asarray([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7])
ma = list()
window = 3
for t in range(0, len(dataset)):
    if t+window <= len(dataset):
        indices = range(t, t+window)
        ma.append(np.average(np.take(dataset, indices)))
else:
    ma = np.asarray(ma)
