autofit.ModelInstance#

class autofit.ModelInstance(child_items: Optional[Union[List, Dict]] = None, id_=None)[source]#

Bases: AbstractModel

An instance of a Collection or Model. This is created by optimisers and correspond to a point in the parameter space.

@DynamicAttrs

An instance of a Collection or Model. This is created by optimisers and correspond to a point in the parameter space.

Parameters:

child_items –

The child items of the instance. This can be a list or dict.

If a list, the items are assigned to the instance in order. If a dict, the items are assigned to the instance by key and accessed by attribute.

Methods

`as_model`	Convert this instance to a model
`attribute_tuples_with_type`	Tuples describing the name and instance for attributes in the model with a given type, recursively.
`copy`	Create a copy of the model.
`direct_tuples_with_type`
`freeze`	Freeze this object.
`from_dict`	Recursively parse a dictionary returning the model, collection or instance that is represents.
`has`	Does this instance have an attribute which is of type cls?
`items`
`model_tuples_with_type`	All models of the class in this model which have at least one free parameter, recursively.
`models_with_type`	Return all models of a given type in the model tree.
`next_id`
`object_for_path`	Get the object at a given path.
`path_instance_tuples_for_class`	Tuples containing the path tuple and instance for every instance of the class in the model tree.
`replacing_for_path`	Create a new model replacing the value for a given path with a new value
`tree_flatten`	Flatten the instance into a PyTree
`tree_unflatten`	Create an instance from a flattened PyTree
`unfreeze`	Unfreeze this object.
`values`

Attributes

`child_items`
`component_number`
`dict`	A dictionary representation of this object
`identifier`
`label`

tree_flatten() → Tuple[List, Tuple][source]#: Flatten the instance into a PyTree

classmethod tree_unflatten(aux_data: Tuple, children: List)[source]#

Create an instance from a flattened PyTree

Parameters:

aux_data – Auxiliary information that remains unchanged including the keys of the dict
children – Child objects subject to change

Return type:

An instance of this class

as_model(model_classes: Union[type, Iterable[type]] = (), excluded_classes: Union[type, Iterable[type]] = ())[source]#

Convert this instance to a model

Parameters:

Return type:

A model
