Fitter(xdata, model, map=False, keep=None, fixedScale=None)
Fitter for linear models.
The Fitter class is to be used in conjunction with Model classes.
The Fitter class and its descendants fit data to a model. Fitter itself
is the variant for linear models, ie. models linear in its parameters.
Examples
--------
# assume x and y are numpy.asarray data arrays:
>>> x = numpy.arange( 100 )
>>> y = numpy.arange( 100 ) // 4 # digitization noise
>>> poly = PolynomialModel( 1 ) # line
>>> fitter = Fitter( x, poly )
>>> param = fitter.fit( y )
>>> stdev = fitter.stdevs # stdevs on the parameters
>>> chisq = fitter.chisq
>>> scale = fitter.scale # noise scale
>>> yfit = fitter.getResult( ) # fitted values
>>> yfit = poly( x ) # same as previous
>>> yband = fitter.monteCarloError( ) # 1 sigma confidence region
Limitations
-----------
1. The Fitter does not work with limits.
2. The calculation of the evidence is an Gaussian approximation which is
only exact for linear models with a fixed scale.

- Method resolution order:
- Fitter
- BaseFitter
- builtins.object
Constructor:
- Fitter( xdata, model, map=False, keep=None, fixedScale=None )
- Create a new Fitter, providing xdatas and model.
A Fitter class is defined by its model and the input vector (the
independent variable). When a fit to another model and/or another
input vector is needed a new object should be created.
Parameters
----------
xdata : array_like
array of independent input values
model : Model
the model function to be fitted
map : bool (False)
When true, the xdata should be interpreted as a map.
The fitting is done on the pixel indices of the map,
using ImageAssistant
keep : dict of {int:float}
dictionary of indices (int) to be kept at a fixed value (float)
The values of keep will be used by the Fitter as long as the Fitter exists.
See also `fit( ..., keep=dict )`
fixedScale : float
the fixed noise scale
Methods defined here:
- fit( ydata, weights=None, accuracy=None, keep=None, plot=False )
- Return model parameters fitted to the data, including weights.
For Linear models the matrix equation
H * p = β
is solved for p. H is the Hessian matrix ( D * w * D^T )
and β is the inproduct of the data with the D, design matrix.
β = y * w * D^T
Parameters
----------
ydata : array_like
the data vector to be fitted
weights : array_like
weights pertaining to the data ( = 1.0 / sigma^2 )
accuracy : float or array_like
accuracy of (individual) data
keep : dict of {int:float}
dictionary of indices (int) to be kept at a fixed value (float)
The values will override those at initialization.
They are only used in this call of fit.
plot : bool
Plot the results
Raises
------
ValueError when ydata or weights contain a NaN
