Methods Documentation

get_scales(fit, myscales=None)[source] [edit on github]

  • myscales (numpy array or None, optional) – The scales to use. If None then they are calculated from the fit.

Returns

scales – The scales array (npar elements, matching the free parameters in fit). It may be multi-dimensional.

Return type

numpy array
