Synopsis
Return an optimization method.
Syntax
get_method(name=None)
Example
The fields of the object returned by `get_method` can be used to view or change the method options.
>>> method = ui.get_method() >>> print(method.name) levmar >>> print(method) name = levmar ftol = 1.19209289551e-07 xtol = 1.19209289551e-07 gtol = 1.19209289551e-07 maxfev = None epsfcn = 1.19209289551e-07 factor = 100.0 verbose = 0 >>> method.maxfev = 5000
PARAMETERS

| name | str, optional | If not given, the current method is returned, otherwise it should be one of the names returned by the `list_methods` function. | 
Return value
The return value from this function is:
method -- An object representing the optimization method.
