default_parameters = <gammapy.modeling.parameter.Parameters object>

frozen

Frozen status of a model, True if all parameters are frozen.

is_energy_dependent

parameters

Parameters as a Parameters object.

parameters_unique_names

reference_time

Reference time in MJD.

t0

A model parameter.

Note that the parameter value has been split into a factor and scale like this:

value = factor x scale

Users should interact with the value, quantity or min and max properties and consider the fact that there is a factor` and scale an implementation detail.

That was introduced for numerical stability in parameter and error estimation methods, only in the Gammapy optimiser interface do we interact with the factor, factor_min and factor_max properties, i.e. the optimiser “sees” the well-scaled problem.

Parameters:

namestr

Name.

valuefloat or Quantity

Value.

scalefloat, optional

Scale (sometimes used in fitting).

unitUnit or str, optional

Unit.

minfloat, optional

Minimum (sometimes used in fitting).

maxfloat, optional

Maximum (sometimes used in fitting).

frozenbool, optional

Frozen (used in fitting).

errorfloat

Parameter error.

scan_minfloat

Minimum value for the parameter scan. Overwrites scan_n_sigma.

scan_maxfloat

Minimum value for the parameter scan. Overwrites scan_n_sigma.

scan_n_values: int

Number of values to be used for the parameter scan.

scan_n_sigmaint

Number of sigmas to scan.

scan_values: `numpy.array`

scale_method{‘scale10’, ‘factor1’, None}

Method used to set factor and scale.

interp{“lin”, “sqrt”, “log”}

Parameter scaling to use for the scan.

priorPrior

Prior set on the parameter.

t_ref

A model parameter.

Note that the parameter value has been split into a factor and scale like this:

value = factor x scale

Parameters:

timeTime

Time object.

energyQuantity, optional

Energy. Default is None.

Returns:

valuesQuantity

Model values.

copy(**kwargs)

Deep copy.

Evaluate at given times.

freeze()

Freeze all parameters.

classmethod from_dict(data, **kwargs)

Create a temporal model from a dictionary.

Parameters:

datadict

Dictionary containing the model parameters.

**kwargsdict

Create model from parameter list.

Parameters:

parametersParameters

Parameters for init.

Returns:

modelModel

Model instance.

integral(t_min, t_max)

Evaluate the integrated flux within the given time intervals.

Parameters:

t_minTime

Start times of observation.

t_maxTime

Stop times of observation.

Returns:

normfloat

Integrated flux norm on the given time intervals.
