Non-linear least squares model

NLSModel

class nipy.algorithms.statistics.models.nlsmodel.NLSModel(Y, design, f, grad, theta, niter=10)

Bases: Model

Class representing a simple nonlinear least squares model.

__init__(Y, design, f, grad, theta, niter=10)

Initialize non-linear model instance

Parameters:

Yndarray

the data in the NLS model

designndarray

the design matrix, X

fcallable

the map between the (linear parameters (in the design matrix) and the nonlinear parameters (theta)) and the predicted data. f accepts the design matrix and the parameters (theta) as input, and returns the predicted data at that design.

gradcallable

the gradient of f, this should be a function of an nxp design matrix X and qx1 vector theta that returns an nxq matrix df_i/dtheta_j where:

\[f_i(theta) = f(X[i], theta)\]

is the nonlinear response function for the i-th instance in the model.

thetaarray

parameters

niterint

number of iterations

SSE()

Sum of squares error.

Returns:

sse: float

sum of squared residuals

fit()

Fit a model to data.

getZ()

Set Z into self

Returns:

None

getomega()

Set omega into self

Returns:

None

initialize()

Initialize (possibly re-initialize) a Model instance.

For instance, the design matrix of a linear model may change and some things must be recomputed.

predict(design=None)

Get predicted values for design or self.design

Parameters:

designNone or array, optional

design at which to predict data. If None (the default) then use the initial self.design

Returns:

y_predictedarray

predicted data at given (or initial) design
