hyperspy.model module

class hyperspy.model.BaseModel

Bases: list

Model and data fitting tools applicable to signals of both one and two dimensions.

Models of one-dimensional signals should use the model1d and models of two-dimensional signals should use the model2d.

A model is constructed as a linear combination of _components that are added to the model using the append() or extend(). There are many predefined components available in the in the _components module. If needed, new components can be created easily using the code of existing components as a template.

Once defined, the model can be fitted to the data using fit() or multifit(). Once the optimizer reaches the convergence criteria or the maximum number of iterations the new value of the component parameters are stored in the components.

It is possible to access the components in the model by their name or by the index in the model. An example is given at the end of this docstring.

signal

It contains the data to fit.

Type: BaseSignal instance

fit()

insert(**kwargs): Insert object before index.

load_parameters_from_file(filename)

Loads the parameters array from a binary file written with the ‘save_parameters2file’ function.

Parameters: filename (str) –

Notes

In combination with save_parameters2file, this method can be used to recreate a model stored in a file. Actually, before HyperSpy 0.8 this is the only way to do so. However, this is known to be brittle. For example see https://github.com/hyperspy/hyperspy/issues/341.

multifit(mask=None, fetch_only_fixed=False, autosave=False, autosave_every=10, show_progressbar=None, interactive_plot=False, iterpath=None, **kwargs)

Fit the data to the model at all positions of the navigation dimensions.

Parameters

mask (np.ndarray, optional) – To mask (i.e. do not fit) at certain position, pass a boolean numpy.array, where True indicates that the data will NOT be fitted at the given position.
fetch_only_fixed (bool, default False) – If True, only the fixed parameters values will be updated when changing the positon.
autosave (bool, default False) – If True, the result of the fit will be saved automatically with a frequency defined by autosave_every.
autosave_every (int, default 10) – Save the result of fitting every given number of spectra.
show_progressbar (None or bool) – If True, display a progress bar. If None, the default from the preferences settings is used.
interactive_plot (bool, default False) – If True, update the plot for every position as they are processed. Note that this slows down the fitting by a lot, but it allows for interactive monitoring of the fitting (if in interactive mode).
iterpath ({None, "flyback", "serpentine"}, default None) –

If “flyback”:
At each new row the index begins at the first column, in accordance with the way numpy.ndindex generates indices.

If “serpentine”:
Iterate through the signal in a serpentine, “snake-game”-like manner instead of beginning each new row at the first index. Works for n-dimensional navigation space, not just 2D.

If None:
Currently None -> "flyback". The default argument will use the "flyback" iterpath, but shows a warning that this will change to "serpentine" in version 2.0.
**kwargs (keyword arguments) – Any extra keyword argument will be passed to the fit method. See the documentation for fit() for a list of valid arguments.

Returns

Return type

None

fit()

Parameters

only_free (bool) – If True, only the value of the parameters that are free will be plotted.
only_active (bool) – If True, only the value of the active parameters will be plotted.

Notes

The name of the files will be determined by each the Component and each Parameter name attributes. Therefore, it is possible to customise the file names modify the name attributes.

print_current_values(only_free=False, only_active=False, component_list=None, fancy=True)

Prints the current values of the parameters of all components.

Parameters

only_free (bool) – If True, only components with free parameters will be printed. Within these, only parameters which are free will be printed.

Remove component from model.

Examples

>>> s = hs.signals.Signal1D(np.empty(1))
>>> m = s.create_model()
>>> g = hs.model.components1D.Gaussian()
>>> m.append(g)

You could remove g like this

>>> m.remove(g)

Like this:

>>> m.remove("Gaussian")

Or like this:

>>> m.remove(0)

Saves signal and its model to a file

Parameters

file_name (str) – Name of the file

Parameters: filename (str) –

Notes

This method can be used to save the current state of the model in a way that can be loaded back to recreate the it using load_parameters_from file. Actually, as of HyperSpy 0.8 this is the only way to do so. However, this is known to be brittle. For example see https://github.com/hyperspy/hyperspy/issues/341.
