Synopsis
Set the value, limits, or behavior of a model parameter.
Syntax
set_par(par, val=None, min=None, max=None, frozen=None)
Examples
Example 1
Change the parameter value to 23.
>>> set_par('bgnd.c0', 23)Example 2
Restrict the line.ampl parameter to be between 1e-4 and 10 and to have a value of 0.1.
>>> set_par('line.ampl', 0.1, min=1e-4, max=10)PARAMETERS
The parameters for this function are:
| Parameter | Type information | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| par | str | The name of the parameter, using the format "componentname.parametername". |
| val | number, optional | Change the current value of the parameter. |
| min | number, optional | Change the minimum value of the parameter (the soft limit). |
| max | number, optional | Change the maximum value of the parameter (the soft limit). |
| frozen | bool, optional | Freeze ( True ) or thaw ( False ) the parameter. |
Notes
The parameter object can be used to change these values directly, by setting the attribute with the same name as the argument - so that:
set_par('emis.flag', val=2, frozen=True)is the same as:
emis.flag.val = 2 emis.flag.frozen = True
