threeML.classicMLE.joint_likelihood module

class threeML.classicMLE.joint_likelihood.JointLikelihood(likelihood_model: Model, data_list: DataList, verbose: bool = False, record: bool = True)[source]

Bases: object

property analysis_type: str
compute_TS(source_name, alt_hyp_mlike_df)[source]

Computes the Likelihood Ratio Test statistic (TS) for the provided source

Parameters:
  • source_name – name for the source

  • alt_hyp_mlike_df – likelihood dataframe (it is the second output of the .fit() method)

Returns:

a DataFrame containing the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis -log(likelihood) values and

the value for TS for the source for each loaded dataset

property correlation_matrix

correlation matrix from the last fit

Type:

return

property covariance_matrix

covariance matrix from the last fit

Type:

return

property current_minimum: float

current minimum of the joint likelihood (available only after the fit() method)

Type:

return

property data_list: DataList

data list for this analysis

Type:

return

fit(quiet: bool = False, compute_covariance: bool = True, n_samples: int = 5000)[source]

Perform a fit of the current likelihood model on the datasets

Parameters:

quiet – If True, print the results (default), otherwise do not print anything

:param compute_covariance:If True (default), compute and display the errors and the correlation matrix. :param n_samples: Number of samples to scan the likelihood. :return: a dictionary with the results on the parameters, and the values of the likelihood at the minimum

for each dataset and the total one.

property fit_trace
get_contours(param_1, param_1_minimum, param_1_maximum, param_1_n_steps, param_2=None, param_2_minimum=None, param_2_maximum=None, param_2_n_steps=None, progress=True, **options)[source]

Generate confidence contours for the given parameters by stepping for the given number of steps between the given boundaries. Call it specifying only source_1, param_1, param_1_minimum and param_1_maximum to generate the profile of the likelihood for parameter 1. Specify all parameters to obtain instead a 2d contour of param_1 vs param_2.

NOTE: if using parallel computation, param_1_n_steps must be an integer multiple of the number of running engines. If that is not the case, the code will reduce the number of steps to match that requirement, and issue a warning

Parameters:
  • param_1 – fully qualified name of the first parameter or parameter instance

  • param_1_minimum – lower bound for the range for the first parameter

  • param_1_maximum – upper bound for the range for the first parameter

  • param_1_n_steps – number of steps for the first parameter

  • param_2 – fully qualified name of the second parameter or parameter instance

  • param_2_minimum – lower bound for the range for the second parameter

  • param_2_maximum – upper bound for the range for the second parameter

  • param_2_n_steps – number of steps for the second parameter

  • progress – (True or False) whether to display progress or not

  • log – by default the steps are taken linearly. With this optional parameter you can provide a tuple of booleans which specify whether the steps are to be taken logarithmically. For example, ‘log=(True,False)’ specify that the steps for the first parameter are to be taken logarithmically, while they are linear for the second parameter. If you are generating the profile for only one parameter, you can specify ‘log=(True,)’ or ‘log=(False,)’ (optional)

Returns:

a tuple containing an array corresponding to the steps for the first parameter, an array corresponding to the steps for the second parameter (or None if stepping only in one direction), a matrix of size param_1_steps x param_2_steps containing the value of the function at the corresponding points in the grid. If param_2_steps is None (only one parameter), then this reduces to an array of size param_1_steps.

get_errors(quiet=False)[source]

Compute the errors on the parameters using the profile likelihood method.

Returns:

a dictionary containing the asymmetric errors for each parameter.

property likelihood_model: Model

likelihood model for this analysis

Type:

return

property minimizer

an instance of the minimizer used in the fit (available only after the fit() method)

Type:

return

property minimizer_in_use
minus_log_like_profile(*trial_values)[source]

Return the minus log likelihood for a given set of trial values

Parameters:

trial_values – the trial values. Must be in the same number as the free parameters in the model

Returns:

minus log likelihood

plot_all_contours(nsteps_1d, nsteps_2d=0, n_sigma=5, log_norm=True)[source]
restore_best_fit()[source]

Restore the model to its best fit

Returns:

(none)

property results: MLEResults
set_minimizer(minimizer)[source]

Set the minimizer to be used, among those available.

Parameters:

minimizer – the name of the new minimizer or an instance of a LocalMinimization or a GlobalMinimization

class. Using the latter two classes allows for more choices and a better control of the details of the minimization, like the choice of algorithms (if supported by the used minimizer) :return: (none)
