class ObjectiveFunction

Bases: object

So far, this is just a base class for organizational purposes

Methods

__init__()
chi2k_distributed_qty(objective_function_value)	Convert a value of this objective function to one that is expected to be chi2_k distributed.

chi2k_distributed_qty(objective_function_value)

Convert a value of this objective function to one that is expected to be chi2_k distributed.

For instance, if the objective function is DeltaLogL then this function would multiply objective_function_value by 2, whereas in the case of a chi-squared objective function this function just return objective_function_value.

Parameters:

objective_function_value (float) – A value of this objective function, i.e. one returned from self.fn(…).

Return type:

float
