Methods Documentation

apply(outer, *otherargs, **otherkwargs)

calc(pars, xlo, *args, **kwargs)

get_center()

guess(dep, *args, **kwargs)

Set an initial guess for the parameter values.

Attempt to set the parameter values, and ranges, for the model to match the data values. This is intended as a rough guess, so it is expected that the model is only evaluated a small number of times, if at all.
