nlog_prob

breads.fit.nlog_prob(nonlin_paras, dataobj, fm_func, fm_paras, nonlin_lnprior_func=None, bounds=None, scale_noise=True)

Returns the negative of the log_prob() for minimization routines.

Args:

nonlin_paras: [p1,p2,…] List of non-linear parameters such as rv, y, x. The meaning and number of non-linear

parameters depends on the forward model defined.

dataobj: A data object of type breads.instruments.instrument.Instrument to be analyzed. fm_func: A forward model function. See breads.fm.template.template() for an example. fm_paras: Additional parameters for fm_func (other than non-linear parameters and dataobj) computeH0: If true (default), compute the probability of the model removing the first element of the linear

model; See second ouput log_prob_H0. This can be used to compute the Bayes factor for a fixed set of non-linear parameters

bounds: (Caution: the calculation of log prob is only theoretically accurate if no bounds are used.)

Bounds on the linear parameters used in lsq_linear as a tuple of arrays (min_vals, maxvals). e.g. ([0,0,…], [np.inf,np.inf,…]) default no bounds. Each numpy array must have shape (N_linear_parameters,).

Returns:

log_prob: Probability of the model marginalized over linear parameters.
