get_num_par_thawed

sherpa.astro.ui.get_num_par_thawed(id: IdType | None = None) → int

Return the number of thawed parameters in a model expression.

The get_num_par_thawed function returns the number of thawed parameters in the model assigned to a data set.

Added in version 4.16.1: Linked components are now included without having to include them in the model expression.

Parameters:

idint, str, or None, optional

The data set containing the model expression. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by get_default_id.

Returns:

nparint

The number of parameters in the model expression. This sums up all the thawed parameters of the components in the expression.

Raises:

sherpa.utils.err.IdentifierErr

If no model expression has been set for the data set (with set_model or set_source).

get_num_par

Return the number of parameters.

get_num_par_frozen

Return the number of frozen parameters.

set_model

Set the source model expression for a data set.

Examples

Return the number of thawed parameters for the default data set:

>>> print(get_num_par_thawed())

Find the number of thawed parameters for the model associated with the data set called “jet”:

>>> njet = get_num_par_thawed('jet')
