diffpy.srfit.fitbase package¶

Submodules¶

diffpy.srfit.fitbase.calculator module¶

The Calculator for Parameter-aware functions.

Calculator is a functor class for producing a signal from embedded Parameters. Calculators can store Parameters and ParameterSets, Constraints and Restraints. Also, the __call__ function can be overloaded to accept external arguments. Calculators are used to wrap registered functions so that the function’s Parameters are contained in an object specific to the function. A custom Calculator can be added to another RecipeOrganizer with the ‘registerCalculator’ method.

class diffpy.srfit.fitbase.calculator.Calculator(name)¶

Bases: diffpy.srfit.equation.literals.operators.Operator, diffpy.srfit.fitbase.parameterset.ParameterSet

Base class for calculators.

A Calculator organizes Parameters and has a __call__ method that can calculate a generic signal.

Attributes name – A name for this organizer. meta – A dictionary of metadata needed by the calculator. _calculators – A managed dictionary of Calculators, indexed by name. _constraints – A set of constrained Parameters. Constraints can be

added using the ‘constrain’ methods.

_parameters – A managed OrderedDict of contained Parameters. _parsets – A managed dictionary of ParameterSets. _restraints – A set of Restraints. Restraints can be added using the

‘restrain’ or ‘confine’ methods.

_eqfactory – A diffpy.srfit.equation.builder.EquationFactory: instance that is used create Equations from string.

Operator Attributes args – List of Literal arguments nin – Number of inputs (<1 means this is variable) nout – Number of outputs (1) operation – Function that performs the operation, self.__call__ symbol – Same as name _value – The value of the Operator. value – Property for ‘getValue’.

Properties names – Variable names (read only). See getNames. values – Variable values (read only). See getValues.

nin = -1¶

nout = 1¶

operation(*args)¶

A decorator indicating abstract properties.

Requires that the metaclass is ABCMeta or derived from it. A class that has a metaclass derived from ABCMeta cannot be instantiated unless all of its abstract properties are overridden. The abstract properties can be called using any of the normal ‘super’ call mechanisms.

Usage:

class C:

__metaclass__ = ABCMeta @abstractproperty def my_abstract_property(self):

…

This defines a read-only property; you can also define a read-write abstract property using the ‘long’ form of property declaration:

class C:

__metaclass__ = ABCMeta def getx(self): … def setx(self, value): … x = abstractproperty(getx, setx)

symbol¶

diffpy.srfit.fitbase.configurable module¶

class diffpy.srfit.fitbase.configurable.Configurable¶

Bases: object

Configurable class.

A Configurable has state of which a FitRecipe must be aware.

Attributes _configobjs – Set of Configureables in a hierarcy or instances.

Messasges get passed up the hierarcy to a FitReciple via these objects.

diffpy.srfit.fitbase.constraint module¶

Constraint class.

Constraints are used by a FitRecipe (and other RecipeOrganizers) to organize constraint equations. They store a Parameter object and an Equation object that is used to compute its value. The Constraint.constrain method is used to create this association.

class diffpy.srfit.fitbase.constraint.Constraint¶

Bases: diffpy.srfit.fitbase.validatable.Validatable

Constraint class.

Constraints are designed to be stored in only one place. (The holder of the constraint owns it).

Attributes par – A Parameter that is the subject of the constraint. eq – An equation whose evaluation is used to set the value of the

constraint.

constrain(par, eq)¶

Constrain a Parameter according to an Equation.

The parameter will be set constant once it is constrained. This will keep it from being constrained multiple times.

Raises a ValueError if par is const.

unconstrain()¶: Clear the constraint.

update()¶: Update the parameter according to the equation.

diffpy.srfit.fitbase.fitcontribution module¶

FitContribution class.

FitContributions generate a residual function for a FitRecipe. A FitContribution associates an Equation for generating a signal, optionally one or more ProfileGenerators or Calculators that help in this, and a Profile that holds the observed and calculated signals.

Properties names – Variable names (read only). See getNames. values – Variable values (read only). See getValues.

addProfileGenerator(gen, name=None)¶

Add a ProfileGenerator to be used by this FitContribution.

The ProfileGenerator is given a name so that it can be used as part of the profile equation (see setEquation). This can be different from the name of the ProfileGenerator used for attribute access. FitContributions should not share ProfileGenerator instances. Different ProfileGenerators can share Parameters and ParameterSets, however.

Calling addProfileGenerator sets the profile equation to call the calculator and if there is not a profile equation already.

gen – A ProfileGenerator instance name – A name for the calculator. If name is None (default), then

the ProfileGenerator’s name attribute will be used.

Raises ValueError if the ProfileGenerator has no name. Raises ValueError if the ProfileGenerator has the same name as some other managed object.

evaluate()¶: Evaluate the contribution equation and update profile.ycalc.

getEquation()¶

Get math expression string for the active profile equation.

Return normalized math expression or an empty string if profile equation has not been set yet.

getResidualEquation()¶

Get math expression string for the active residual equation.

Return normalized math formula or an empty string if residual equation has not been configured yet.

residual()¶

Calculate the residual for this fitcontribution.

When this method is called, it is assumed that all parameters have been assigned their most current values by the FitRecipe. This will be the case when being called as part of a FitRecipe refinement.

The residual is by default an array chiv: chiv = (eq() - self.profile.y) / self.profile.dy The value that is optimized is dot(chiv, chiv).

The residual equation can be changed with the setResidualEquation method.

setEquation(eqstr, ns={})¶

Set the profile equation for the FitContribution.

This sets the equation that will be used when generating the residual for this FitContribution. The equation will be usable within setResidualEquation as “eq”, and it takes no arguments.

eqstr – A string representation of the equation. Any Parameter: registered by addParameter or setProfile, or function registered by setCalculator, registerFunction or registerStringFunction can be can be used in the equation by name. Other names will be turned into Parameters of this FitContribution.
ns – A dictionary of Parameters, indexed by name, that are used: in the eqstr, but not registered (default {}).

Raises ValueError if ns uses a name that is already used for a variable.

setProfile(profile, xname=None, yname=None, dyname=None)¶

Assign the Profile for this FitContribution.

profile – A Profile that specifies the calculation points and that: will store the calculated signal.
xname – The name of the independent variable from the Profile. If: this is None (default), then the name specified by the Profile for this parameter will be used. This variable is usable within string equations with the specified name.
yname – The name of the observed Profile. If this is None: (default), then the name specified by the Profile for this parameter will be used. This variable is usable within string equations with the specified name.
dyname – The name of the uncertainty in the observed Profile. If: this is None (default), then the name specified by the Profile for this parameter will be used. This variable is usable within string equations with the specified name.

setResidualEquation(eqstr)¶

Set the residual equation for the FitContribution.

eqstr – A string representation of the residual. If eqstr is None: (default), then the previous residual equation will be used, or the chi2 residual will be used if that does not exist.

Two residuals are preset for convenience, “chiv” and “resv”. chiv is defined such that dot(chiv, chiv) = chi^2. resv is defined such that dot(resv, resv) = Rw^2. You can call on these in your residual equation. Note that the quantity that will be optimized is the summed square of the residual equation. Keep that in mind when defining a new residual or using the built-in ones.

Raises SrFitError if the Profile is not yet defined. Raises ValueError if eqstr depends on a Parameter that is not part of the FitContribution.

diffpy.srfit.fitbase.fithook module¶

The FitHook class for inspecting the progress of a FitRecipe refinement.

FitHooks are called by a FitRecipe during various times of the residual is evaluation. The default FitHook simply counts the number of times the residual is called, and reports that number every time the residual is calculated. Depending on the verbosity, it will also report the residual and the current variable values.

Custom FitHooks can be added to a FitRecipe with the FitRecipe.setFitHook method.

class diffpy.srfit.fitbase.fithook.FitHook¶

Bases: object

Base class for inspecting the progress of a FitRecipe refinement.

Can serve as a fithook for the FitRecipe class (see FitRecipe.pushFitHook method.) The methods in this class are called during the preparation of the FitRecipe for refinement, and during the residual call. See the class methods for a description of their purpose.

postcall(recipe, chiv)¶

This is called within FitRecipe.residual, after the calculation.

recipe – The FitRecipe instance chiv – The residual vector

precall(recipe)¶

This is called within FitRecipe.residual, before the calculation.

recipe – The FitRecipe instance

reset(recipe)¶

This is called whenever FitRecipe._prepare is called, which is whenever a configurational change to the fit hierarchy takes place, such as adding a new ParameterSet, constraint or restraint.

diffpy.srfit.fitbase.fitrecipe module¶

FitRecipe class.

FitRecipes organize FitContributions, variables, Restraints and Constraints to create a recipe of the system you wish to optimize. From the client’s perspective, the FitRecipe is a residual calculator. The residual method does the work of updating variable values, which get propagated to the Parameters of the underlying FitContributions via the variables and Constraints. This class needs no special knowledge of the type of FitContribution or data being used. Thus, it is suitable for combining residual equations from various types of refinements into a single residual.

Variables added to a FitRecipe can be tagged with string identifiers. Variables can be later retrieved or manipulated by tag. The tag name “__fixed” is reserved.

See the examples in the documentation for how to create an optimization problem using FitRecipe.

Arguments: index – index of bank (integer, starting at 0, default None). If

index is None then the currently selected bank is used.

This returns (x, y, dx, dy) tuple for the bank. dx is 0 if it cannot be determined from the data format.

Arguments patstring – A string containing the pattern

Raises ParseError if the string cannot be parsed

selectBank(index)¶

Select which bank to use.

This method should only be called after the data has been parsed. The chosen bank number is not persistent, and so must be re-selected if the parser is used to parse more data. This uses python list notation, so index -n returns the nth bank from the end.

Module contents¶

The base fitting classes for diffpy.srfit.

This package contains modules and subpackages that are used to define a fit problem in SrFit. Unaltered, these classes will help set up a fit problem that can be optimized within a fitting framework or with a standalone optimizer. They provide the basic framework for defining a forward calculator, and from that defining a fit problem with data, constraints and restraints. The classes involved in this collaboration can be tied to a fitting framework at various levels through inheritance. One can create a fitting problem using the FitContribution, Profile and FitRecipe classes.

addProfileGenerator(gen, name=None)¶

Add a ProfileGenerator to be used by this FitContribution.

The ProfileGenerator is given a name so that it can be used as part of the profile equation (see setEquation). This can be different from the name of the ProfileGenerator used for attribute access. FitContributions should not share ProfileGenerator instances. Different ProfileGenerators can share Parameters and ParameterSets, however.

Calling addProfileGenerator sets the profile equation to call the calculator and if there is not a profile equation already.

gen – A ProfileGenerator instance name – A name for the calculator. If name is None (default), then

the ProfileGenerator’s name attribute will be used.

Raises ValueError if the ProfileGenerator has no name. Raises ValueError if the ProfileGenerator has the same name as some other managed object.

evaluate()¶: Evaluate the contribution equation and update profile.ycalc.

getEquation()¶

Get math expression string for the active profile equation.

Return normalized math expression or an empty string if profile equation has not been set yet.

getResidualEquation()¶

Get math expression string for the active residual equation.

Return normalized math formula or an empty string if residual equation has not been configured yet.

residual()¶

Calculate the residual for this fitcontribution.

When this method is called, it is assumed that all parameters have been assigned their most current values by the FitRecipe. This will be the case when being called as part of a FitRecipe refinement.

The residual is by default an array chiv: chiv = (eq() - self.profile.y) / self.profile.dy The value that is optimized is dot(chiv, chiv).

The residual equation can be changed with the setResidualEquation method.

setEquation(eqstr, ns={})¶

Set the profile equation for the FitContribution.

This sets the equation that will be used when generating the residual for this FitContribution. The equation will be usable within setResidualEquation as “eq”, and it takes no arguments.

eqstr – A string representation of the equation. Any Parameter: registered by addParameter or setProfile, or function registered by setCalculator, registerFunction or registerStringFunction can be can be used in the equation by name. Other names will be turned into Parameters of this FitContribution.
ns – A dictionary of Parameters, indexed by name, that are used: in the eqstr, but not registered (default {}).

Raises ValueError if ns uses a name that is already used for a variable.

setProfile(profile, xname=None, yname=None, dyname=None)¶

Assign the Profile for this FitContribution.

profile – A Profile that specifies the calculation points and that: will store the calculated signal.
xname – The name of the independent variable from the Profile. If: this is None (default), then the name specified by the Profile for this parameter will be used. This variable is usable within string equations with the specified name.
yname – The name of the observed Profile. If this is None: (default), then the name specified by the Profile for this parameter will be used. This variable is usable within string equations with the specified name.
dyname – The name of the uncertainty in the observed Profile. If: this is None (default), then the name specified by the Profile for this parameter will be used. This variable is usable within string equations with the specified name.

setResidualEquation(eqstr)¶

Set the residual equation for the FitContribution.

eqstr – A string representation of the residual. If eqstr is None: (default), then the previous residual equation will be used, or the chi2 residual will be used if that does not exist.

Two residuals are preset for convenience, “chiv” and “resv”. chiv is defined such that dot(chiv, chiv) = chi^2. resv is defined such that dot(resv, resv) = Rw^2. You can call on these in your residual equation. Note that the quantity that will be optimized is the summed square of the residual equation. Keep that in mind when defining a new residual or using the built-in ones.

Raises SrFitError if the Profile is not yet defined. Raises ValueError if eqstr depends on a Parameter that is not part of the FitContribution.

residual(p=[])¶

Calculate the vector residual to be optimized.

Arguments p – The list of current variable values, provided in the same order

as the ‘_parameters’ list. If p is an empty iterable (default), then it is assumed that the parameters have already been updated in some other way, and the explicit update within this function is skipped.
