Bases: PolynomialModel

2D Polynomial model.

Represents a general polynomial of degree n:

\[P(x,y) = c_{00} + c_{10}x + ...+ c_{n0}x^n + c_{01}y + ...+ c_{0n}y^n + c_{11}xy + c_{12}xy^2 + ... + c_{1(n-1)}xy^{n-1}+ ... + c_{(n-1)1}x^{n-1}y\]

For explanation of x_domain, y_domain, x_window and y_window see Notes regarding usage of domain and window.

Parameters:

degreepython:int

Polynomial degree: largest sum of exponents (\(i + j\)) of variables in each monomial term of the form \(x^i y^j\). The number of terms in a 2D polynomial of degree n is given by binomial coefficient \(C(n + 2, 2) = (n + 2)! / (2!\,n!) = (n + 1)(n + 2) / 2\).

x_domainpython:tuple or python:None, optional

domain of the x independent variable If None, it is set to (-1, 1)

y_domainpython:tuple or python:None, optional

domain of the y independent variable If None, it is set to (-1, 1)

x_windowpython:tuple or python:None, optional

range of the x independent variable If None, it is set to (-1, 1) Fitters will remap the x_domain to x_window

y_windowpython:tuple or python:None, optional

range of the y independent variable If None, it is set to (-1, 1) Fitters will remap the y_domain to y_window

**paramspython:dict

keyword: value pairs, representing parameter_name: value

Other Parameters:

fixeda python:dict, optional

A dictionary {parameter_name: boolean} of parameters to not be varied during fitting. True means the parameter is held fixed. Alternatively the fixed property of a parameter may be used.

tiedpython:dict, optional

A dictionary {parameter_name: callable} of parameters which are linked to some other parameter. The dictionary values are callables providing the linking relationship. Alternatively the tied property of a parameter may be used.

boundspython:dict, optional

A dictionary {parameter_name: value} of lower and upper bounds of parameters. Keys are parameter names. Values are a list or a tuple of length 2 giving the desired range for the parameter. Alternatively, the min and max properties of a parameter may be used.

eqconspython:list, optional

A list of functions of length n such that eqcons[j](x0,*args) == 0.0 in a successfully optimized problem.

ineqconspython:list, optional

A list of functions of length n such that ieqcons[j](x0,*args) >= 0.0 is a successfully optimized problem.

Attributes Summary

input_units	This property is used to indicate what units or sets of units the evaluate method expects, and returns a dictionary mapping inputs to units (or None if any units are accepted).
n_inputs	The number of inputs.
n_outputs	The number of outputs.
x_domain
x_window
y_domain
y_window

Methods Summary

__call__(*inputs[, model_set_axis, ...])	Evaluate this model using the given input(s) and the parameter values that were specified when the model was instantiated.
evaluate(x, y, *coeffs)	Evaluate the model on some input variables.
fit_deriv(x, y, *params)	Computes the Vandermonde matrix.
invlex_coeff(coeffs)
multivariate_horner(x, y, coeffs)	Multivariate Horner's scheme
prepare_inputs(x, y, **kwargs)	This method is used in __call__ to ensure that all the inputs to the model can be broadcast into compatible shapes (if one or both of them are input as arrays), particularly if there are more than one parameter sets.

Methods Documentation

__call__(*inputs, model_set_axis=None, with_bounding_box=False, fill_value=nan, equivalencies=None, inputs_map=None, **new_inputs)

Evaluate this model using the given input(s) and the parameter values that were specified when the model was instantiated.

evaluate(x, y, *coeffs)

Evaluate the model on some input variables.

fit_deriv(x, y, *params)

Computes the Vandermonde matrix.

Parameters:

xndarray

input

yndarray

input

*params

throw-away parameter list returned by non-linear fitters

Returns:

resultndarray

The Vandermonde matrix

invlex_coeff(coeffs)

multivariate_horner(x, y, coeffs)

Multivariate Horner’s scheme

Parameters:

x, yarray

coeffsarray

Coefficients in inverse lexical order.

prepare_inputs(x, y, **kwargs)

This method is used in __call__ to ensure that all the inputs to the model can be broadcast into compatible shapes (if one or both of them are input as arrays), particularly if there are more than one parameter sets. This also makes sure that (if applicable) the units of the input will be compatible with the evaluate method.
