XSlyman

class sherpa.astro.xspec.XSlyman(name='lyman')[source] [edit on github]

Bases: XSMultiplicativeModel

The XSPEC lyman model: Voigt absorption profiles for H I or He II Lyman series.

The model is described at [1].

Note

Deprecated in Sherpa 4.10.0

The nHeI and redshift parameters have been renamed to n and z respectively to match the XSPEC definition. The names nHeI and redshift can still be used to access the parameters, but they will be removed in a future release.

n: The H I or He II column density, in 10^22 atoms/cm^2.

b: The b value, in km/s.

z: The redshift of the absorber.

ZA: The atomic number of the species being calculated.

cache = 5: The maximum size of the cache.

lpars

Return any linked parameters.

This only returns linked parameters that are not related to the model, and each parameter is not repeated.

Added in version 4.16.1.

pars

Examples

By default there are no linked parameters:

>>> from sherpa.models.basic import Gauss2D
>>> mdl = Gauss2D("mdl")
>>> len(mdl.pars)
6
>>> mdl.lpars
()

Force the model to have identical xpos and ypos parameters. Since the linked parameter value (mdl.xpos) is part of the model it is not included in lpars:

>>> mdl.ypos = mdl.xpos
>>> len(mdl.pars)
6
>>> mdl.lpars
()

Add a link to allow the sigma term to be fit rather than FWHM. Since the linked parameter - here from the Const1D model - is not a part of the model it is included in lpars:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from sherpa.models.basic import Const1D
>>> sigma = Const1D("sigma")
>>> mdl.fwhm = 2 * np.sqrt(2 * np.log(2)) * sigma.c0
>>> len(mdl.pars)
6
>>> mdl.lpars
(<Parameter 'c0' of model 'sigma'>,)

ndim: int | None = 1: A one-dimensional model.

pars

Return the parameters of the model.

This does not include any linked parameters.

Changed in version 4.16.1: The pars field can no-longer be set directly. Individual elements can still be changed.

lpars

thawedparhardmaxes

The hard maximum values for the thawed parameters.

The minimum and maximum range of the parameters can be changed with thawedparmins and thawedparmaxes but only within the range given by thawedparhardmins to thawparhardmaxes.

See also

thawedparhardmins, thawedparmaxes

thawedparhardmins

The hard minimum values for the thawed parameters.

The minimum and maximum range of the parameters can be changed with thawedparmins and thawedparmaxes but only within the range given by thawedparhardmins to thawparhardmaxes.

thawedparhardmaxes, thawedparmins

thawedparmaxes

The maximum limits of the thawed parameters.

Get or set the maximum limits of the thawed parameters of the model as a list of numbers. If there are no thawed parameters then [] is used. The ordering matches that of the pars attribute.

thawedpars, thawedarhardmaxes, thawedparmins

thawedparmins

The minimum limits of the thawed parameters.

Get or set the minimum limits of the thawed parameters of the model as a list of numbers. If there are no thawed parameters then [] is used. The ordering matches that of the pars attribute.

thawedpars, thawedarhardmins, thawedparmaxes

thawedpars

The thawed parameters of the model.

Get or set the thawed parameters of the model as a list of numbers. If there are no thawed parameters then [] is used. The ordering matches that of the pars attribute.

version_enabled = True

Methods Documentation

apply(outer, *otherargs, **otherkwargs) [edit on github]

cache_clear() → None [edit on github]: Clear the cache.

cache_status() → None [edit on github]

Display the cache status.

Information on the cache - the number of “hits”, “misses”, and “requests” - is displayed at the INFO logging level.

Example

>>> pl.cache_status()
 powlaw1d.pl                size:    5  hits:   633  misses:   240  check=  873

calc(p, *args, **kwargs) [edit on github]

Calculate the model given the parameters and grid.

Notes

XSPEC models must always be evaluated with low and high bin edges. Although supported by the XSPEC model interface the ability to evaluate using an XSPEC-style grid (n+1 values for n bins which we pad with a 0), we do not allow this here since it complicates the handling of the regrid method.

Keyword arguments are ignored.

freeze() → None [edit on github]: Freeze any thawed parameters of the model.

get_center() [edit on github]

get_thawed_pars() → list[Parameter] [edit on github]

Return the thawed parameter objects.

This includes linked parameters, which complicates the min/max settings, since the range on the components of a linked parameter does not match that of the original parameter, which is an issue when the limits are exceeded.

Added in version 4.16.1.

guess(dep, *args, **kwargs) [edit on github]

Set an initial guess for the parameter values.

Attempt to set the parameter values, and ranges, for the model to match the data values. This is intended as a rough guess, so it is expected that the model is only evaluated a small number of times, if at all.

regrid(*args, **kwargs) [edit on github]

The class RegriddableModel1D allows the user to evaluate in the requested space then interpolate onto the data space. An optional argument ‘interp’ enables the user to change the interpolation method.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from sherpa.models.basic import Box1D
>>> from sherpa.utils import linear_interp
>>> mybox = Box1D()
>>> request_space = np.arange(1, 10, 0.1)
>>> regrid_model = mybox.regrid(request_space, interp=linear_interp)

reset() → None [edit on github]

Reset the parameter values.

Restores each parameter to the last value it was set to. This allows the parameters to be easily reset after a fit.

set_center(*args, **kwargs) [edit on github]

startup(cache: bool = False) → None [edit on github]

Called before a model may be evaluated multiple times.

Parameters:: cache (bool, optional) – Should a cache be used when evaluating the models.

See also

teardown

teardown() → None [edit on github]: Called after a model may be evaluated multiple times.

See also

startup

thaw() → None [edit on github]

Thaw any frozen parameters of the model.

Those parameters that are marked as “always frozen” are skipped.
