delete_bkg_model

Context: modeling

Synopsis

Delete the background model expression for a data set.

Syntax

delete_bkg_model(id=None, bkg_id=None)

id - int or str, optional
bkg_id - int or string, optional

Description

This removes the model expression, created by `set_bkg_model` , for the background component of a data set. It does not delete the components of the expression, or remove the models for any other background components or the source of the data set.


Examples

Example 1

Remove the background model expression for the default data set:

>>> delete_bkg_model()

Example 2

Remove the model expression for the background component labelled 'down' for the data set with the identifier 'src':

>>> delete_bkg_model('src', 'down')

PARAMETERS

The parameters for this function are:

Parameter Definition
id The data set containing the source expression. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by `get_default_id` .
bkg_id The identifier for the background component to use.

Bugs

See the bugs pages on the Sherpa website for an up-to-date listing of known bugs.
