paramspace.paramdim module#

The ParamDim classes define parameter dimensions along which discrete values can be assumed. While they provide iteration abilities on their own, they make sense mostly to use as objects in a dict that is converted to a ParamSpace.

class paramspace.paramdim.Masked(value)[source]#

Bases: object

To indicate a masked value in a ParamDim

__init__(value)[source]#

Initialize a Masked object that is a placeholder for the given value

Parameters: value – The value to mask

property value#

classmethod to_yaml(representer, node: paramspace.paramdim.Masked)[source]#

Parameters

representer (ruamel.yaml.representer) – The representer module
node (Masked) – The node, i.e. an instance of this class

Returns

the scalar value that this object masks

exception paramspace.paramdim.MaskedValueError[source]#

Bases: ValueError

Raised when trying to set the state of a ParamDim to a masked value

args#

with_traceback()#: Exception.with_traceback(tb) – set self.__traceback__ to tb and return self.

__init__(*, default, values: Optional[Iterable] = None, order: Optional[float] = None, name: Optional[str] = None, as_type: Optional[str] = None, assert_unique: bool = True, **kwargs) → None[source]#

Initialise a parameter dimension object.

Parameters

default – default value of this parameter dimension
values (Iterable, optional) – Which discrete values this parameter dimension can take. This argument takes precedence over any constructors given in the kwargs (like range, linspace, …).
order (float, optional) – If given, this allows to specify an order within a ParamSpace that includes this ParamDim object. If not, will use np.inf instead.
name (str, optional) – If given, this is an additional name of this ParamDim object, and can be used by the ParamSpace to access this object.
as_type (str, optional) – If given, casts the individual created values to a certain python type. The following string values are possible: str, int, bool, float
assert_unique (bool, optional) – Whether to assert uniqueness of the values among them.
**kwargs – Constructors for the values argument, valid keys are range, linspace, and logspace; corresponding values are expected to be iterables and are passed to range(*args), np.linspace(*args), or np.logspace(*args), respectively.
