Attributes Documentation

correlation¶

Correlation matrix (numpy.ndarray).

Correlation \(C\) is related to covariance \(\Sigma\) via:

\[C_{ij} = \frac{ \Sigma_{ij} }{ \sqrt{\Sigma_{ii} \Sigma_{jj}} }\]

free_parameters¶: List of free parameters

names¶: List of parameter names

parameters¶: List of Parameter.

restore_values¶

Context manager to restore values.

A copy of the values is made on enter, and those values are restored on exit.

Examples

from gammapy.spectrum.models import PowerLaw
pwl = PowerLaw(index=2)
with pwl.parameters.restore_values:
    pwl.parameters["index"].value = 3
print(pwl.parameters["index"].value)
