reset

Context: modeling

Synopsis

Reset the model parameters to their default settings.

Syntax

reset(model=None, id=None)

model - optional
id - int or string, optional

Description

The `reset` function restores the parameter values to the default value set by `guess` or to the user-defined default. If the user set initial model values or soft limits - e.g. either with `set_par` or by using parameter prompting via `paramprompt` - then `reset` will restore these values and limits even after `guess` or `fit` has been called.


Examples

Example 1

The following examples assume that the source model has been set using:

>>> set_source(powlaw1d.pl * xsphabs.gal)

Example 2

Fit the model and then reset the values of both components ( pl and gal ):

>>> fit()
>>> reset()

Example 3

Reset just the parameters of the pl model component:

>>> reset(pl)

Example 4

Reset all the components of the source expression for data set 2.

>>> reset(get_source(2))

PARAMETERS

The parameters for this function are:

Parameter Definition
model The model component or expression to reset. The default is to use all source expressions.
id The data set to use. The default is to use all data sets with a source expression.
