fraction(value[, clip])	Return fraction given a parameter's value.
get_derived_keys()	Return list of keys that should be generated by this parameter.
is_log()	Return if Parameter's value is stored as log10(value).
latex()	Return the LaTeX representation of the parameter.
lnprior_pdf(x)	Evaluate natural log of probability density function.
prior_icdf(u)	Evaluate inverse cumulative density function.
process(**kwargs)	Process module.
receive_requests(**requests)	Receive requests from other Module objects.
value(f)	Return the value of the parameter in parameter's units.

Methods Documentation

fix_value(value)

Fix value of parameter.

fraction(value, clip=True)

Return fraction given a parameter’s value.

get_derived_keys()

Return list of keys that should be generated by this parameter.

is_log()

Return if Parameter’s value is stored as log10(value).

latex()

Return the LaTeX representation of the parameter.

lnprior_pdf(x)

Evaluate natural log of probability density function.

prior_icdf(u)

Evaluate inverse cumulative density function.

process(**kwargs)

Process module.

Initialize a parameter based upon either a fixed value or a distribution, if one is defined.

receive_requests(**requests)

Receive requests from other Module objects.

value(f)

Return the value of the parameter in parameter’s units.
