get_num_par_thawed

Context: modeling

Synopsis

Return the number of thawed parameters in a model expression.

Syntax

get_num_par_thawed(id=None)

id - int or str, optional

Description

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


Examples

Example 1

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

>>> print(get_num_par_thawed())

Example 2

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

>>> njet = get_num_par_thawed('jet')

PARAMETERS

The parameter for this function is:

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

Return value

The return value from this function is:

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