GridSearch
(name='gridsearch')[source] [edit on github]¶ Bases:
sherpa.optmethods.OptMethod
Grid Search optimization method.
This method evaluates the fit statistic for each point in the parameter space grid; the best match is the grid point with the lowest value of the fit statistic. It is intended for use with template models as it is very inefficient for general models.
-
num
¶ The size of the grid for each parameter when sequence is None, so npar^num fits will be evaluated, where npar is the number of free parameters. The grid spacing is uniform.
- Type
int
-
sequence
¶ The list through which to evaluate. Leave as None to use a uniform grid spacing as determined by the num attribute.
- Type
sequence of numbers or None
-
numcores
¶ The number of CPU cores to use. The default is 1 and a value of None will use all the cores on the machine.
- Type
int or None
-
maxfev
¶ The maxfev attribute if method is not None.
- Type
int or None
-
ftol
¶ The ftol attribute if method is not None.
- Type
number
-
method
¶ The optimization method to use to refine the best-fit location found using the grid search. If None then this step is not run.
- Type
str or None
-
verbose
¶ The amount of information to print during the fit. The default is 0, which means no output.
- Type
int

fit
(statfunc, pars, parmins, parmaxes, statargs=(), statkwargs={}) [edit on github]¶ Run the optimiser.
- Parameters
statfunc (function) – Given a list of parameter values as the first argument and, as the remaining positional arguments,
statargs
andstatkwargs
as keyword arguments, return the statistic value.pars (sequence) – The start position of the model parameter values.
parmins (sequence) – The minimum allowed values for each model parameter. This must match the length of
pars
.parmaxes (sequence) – The maximum allowed values for each model parameter. This must match the length of
pars
.statargs (optional) – Additional positional arguments to send to
statfunc
.statkwargs (optional) – Additional keyword arguments to send to
statfunc
.
- Returns
newpars – The model parameters after the optimiser has run.
- Return type
tuple
