Moving Average based on Timestamps in PostgreSQL

Question

I wanted to perform moving average through timestamps. I have two columns: Temperature and timestamps (time-date) and I want to perform the moving average based on every 15

Answer 1

Assuming you want to restart the rolling average after each 15 minute interval:

select id, 
       temp,
       avg(temp) over (partition by group_nr order by time_read) as rolling_avg
from (       
  select id, 
         temp,
         time_read, 
         interval_group,
         id - row_number() over (partition by interval_group order by time_read) as group_nr
  from (
    select id, 
           time_read, 
           'epoch'::timestamp + '900 seconds'::interval * (extract(epoch from time_read)::int4 / 900) as interval_group,
           temp
    from readings
  ) t1
) t2
order by time_read;

It is based on Depesz's solution to group by "time ranges":
