   Bases: :py:obj:`pygsti.modelmembers.povms.basepovm._BasePOVM`

   A POVM that just holds a set of effect vectors, parameterized individually however you want.

   Parameters
   ----------
   effects : dict of POVMEffects or array-like
       A dict (or list of key,value pairs) of the effect vectors.

   evotype : Evotype or str, optional
       The evolution type.  If `None`, the evotype is inferred
       from the first effect vector.  If `len(effects) == 0` in this case,
       an error is raised.

   state_space : StateSpace, optional
       The state space for this POVM.  If `None`, the space is inferred
       from the first effect vector.  If `len(effects) == 0` in this case,
       an error is raised.

   Creates a new BasePOVM object.

   Parameters
   ----------
   effects : dict of POVMEffects or array-like
       A dict (or list of key,value pairs) of the effect vectors.

   evotype : Evotype or str, optional
       The evolution type.  If `None`, the evotype is inferred
       from the first effect vector.  If `len(effects) == 0` in this case,
       an error is raised.

   state_space : StateSpace, optional
       The state space for this POVM.  If `None`, the space is inferred
       from the first effect vector.  If `len(effects) == 0` in this case,
       an error is raised.

   preserve_sum : bool, optional
       If true, the sum of `effects` is taken to be a constraint
       and so the final effect vector is made into a
       :class:`ComplementPOVMEffect`.
