Scale#

class astropy.modeling.functional_models.Scale(factor=1, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: Fittable1DModel

Multiply a model by a dimensionless factor.

Parameters:
factorfloat

Factor by which to scale a coordinate.

Notes

If factor is a Quantity then the units will be stripped before the scaling operation.

Attributes Summary

factor

fittable

input_units

This property is used to indicate what units or sets of units the evaluate method expects, and returns a dictionary mapping inputs to units (or None if any units are accepted).

linear

param_names

Names of the parameters that describe models of this type.

Methods Summary

evaluate(x, factor)

One dimensional Scale model function.

fit_deriv(x, *params)

One dimensional Scale model derivative with respect to parameter.

Names of the parameters that describe models of this type.

The parameters in this tuple are in the same order they should be passed in when initializing a model of a specific type. Some types of models, such as polynomial models, have a different number of parameters depending on some other property of the model, such as the degree.

When defining a custom model class the value of this attribute is automatically set by the Parameter attributes defined in the class body.
