Parameters
----------

Notes
-----
``as_strided`` creates a view into the array given the exact strides
and shape. This means it manipulates the internal data structure of
ndarray and, if done incorrectly, the array elements can point to
invalid memory and can corrupt results or crash your program.
It is advisable to always use the original ``x.strides`` when
calculating new strides to avoid reliance on a contiguous memory
layout.
Furthermore, arrays created with this function often contain self
overlapping memory, so that two elements are identical.
Vectorized write operations on such arrays will typically be
unpredictable. They may even give different results for small, large,
or transposed arrays.
Since writing to these arrays has to be tested and done with great
care, you may want to use ``writeable=False`` to avoid accidental write
operations.
For these reasons it is advisable to avoid ``as_strided`` when
possible.

"""
Create a sliding window view into the array with the given window shape.
Also known as rolling or moving window, the window slides across all
dimensions of the array and extracts subsets of the array at all window
positions.
.. versionadded:: 1.20.0
Parameters
----------
x : array_like
Array to create the sliding window view from.
window_shape : int or tuple of int
Size of window over each axis that takes part in the sliding window.
If `axis` is not present, must have same length as the number of input
array dimensions. Single integers `i` are treated as if they were the
tuple `(i,)`.
axis : int or tuple of int, optional
Axis or axes along which the sliding window is applied.
By default, the sliding window is applied to all axes and
`window_shape[i]` will refer to axis `i` of `x`.
If `axis` is given as a `tuple of int`, `window_shape[i]` will refer to
the axis `axis[i]` of `x`.
Single integers `i` are treated as if they were the tuple `(i,)`.
subok : bool, optional
If True, sub-classes will be passed-through, otherwise the returned
array will be forced to be a base-class array (default).
writeable : bool, optional
When true, allow writing to the returned view. The default is false,
as this should be used with caution: the returned view contains the
same memory location multiple times, so writing to one location will
cause others to change.
Returns
-------
view : ndarray
Sliding window view of the array. The sliding window dimensions are
inserted at the end, and the original dimensions are trimmed as
required by the size of the sliding window.
That is, ``view.shape = x_shape_trimmed + window_shape``, where
``x_shape_trimmed`` is ``x.shape`` with every entry reduced by one less
than the corresponding window size.
See Also
--------
lib.stride_tricks.as_strided: A lower-level and less safe routine for
creating arbitrary views from custom shape and strides.
broadcast_to: broadcast an array to a given shape.
Notes
-----
For many applications using a sliding window view can be convenient, but
potentially very slow. Often specialized solutions exist, for example:
- `scipy.signal.fftconvolve`
- filtering functions in `scipy.ndimage`
- moving window functions provided by
`bottleneck <https://github.com/pydata/bottleneck>`_.
As a rough estimate, a sliding window approach with an input size of `N`
and a window size of `W` will scale as `O(N*W)` where frequently a special
algorithm can achieve `O(N)`. That means that the sliding window variant
for a window size of 100 can be a 100 times slower than a more specialized
version.
Nevertheless, for small window sizes, when no custom algorithm exists, or
as a prototyping and developing tool, this function can be a good solution.
Examples
--------
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from numpy.lib.stride_tricks import sliding_window_view
>>> x = np.arange(6)
>>> x.shape
(6,)
>>> v = sliding_window_view(x, 3)
>>> v.shape
(4, 3)
>>> v
array([[0, 1, 2],
[1, 2, 3],
[2, 3, 4],
[3, 4, 5]])
This also works in more dimensions, e.g.
>>> i, j = np.ogrid[:3, :4]
>>> x = 10*i + j
>>> x.shape
(3, 4)
>>> x
array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3],
[10, 11, 12, 13],
[20, 21, 22, 23]])
>>> shape = (2,2)
>>> v = sliding_window_view(x, shape)
>>> v.shape
(2, 3, 2, 2)
>>> v
array([[[[ 0, 1],
[10, 11]],
[[ 1, 2],
[11, 12]],
[[ 2, 3],
[12, 13]]],
[[[10, 11],
[20, 21]],
[[11, 12],
[21, 22]],
[[12, 13],
[22, 23]]]])
The axis can be specified explicitly:
>>> v = sliding_window_view(x, 3, 0)
>>> v.shape
(1, 4, 3)
>>> v
array([[[ 0, 10, 20],
[ 1, 11, 21],
[ 2, 12, 22],
[ 3, 13, 23]]])
The same axis can be used several times. In that case, every use reduces
the corresponding original dimension:
>>> v = sliding_window_view(x, (2, 3), (1, 1))
>>> v.shape
(3, 1, 2, 3)
>>> v
array([[[[ 0, 1, 2],
[ 1, 2, 3]]],
[[[10, 11, 12],
[11, 12, 13]]],
[[[20, 21, 22],
[21, 22, 23]]]])
Combining with stepped slicing (`::step`), this can be used to take sliding
views which skip elements:
>>> x = np.arange(7)
>>> sliding_window_view(x, 5)[:, ::2]
array([[0, 2, 4],
[1, 3, 5],
[2, 4, 6]])
or views which move by multiple elements
>>> x = np.arange(7)
>>> sliding_window_view(x, 3)[::2, :]
array([[0, 1, 2],
[2, 3, 4],
[4, 5, 6]])
A common application of `sliding_window_view` is the calculation of running
statistics. The simplest example is the
`moving average <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average>`_:
>>> x = np.arange(6)
>>> x.shape
(6,)
>>> v = sliding_window_view(x, 3)
>>> v.shape
(4, 3)
>>> v
array([[0, 1, 2],
[1, 2, 3],
[2, 3, 4],
[3, 4, 5]])
>>> moving_average = v.mean(axis=-1)
>>> moving_average
array([1., 2., 3., 4.])
Note that a sliding window approach is often **not** optimal (see Notes).
