class petitRADTRANS.retrieval.parameter.Parameter(name, is_free_parameter, value=None, transform_prior_cube_coordinate=None, plot_in_corner=False, corner_ranges=None, corner_transform=None, corner_label=None)

Parameter This class allows easy translation between the pyMultinest hypercube and the physical unit space. Each parameter includes a name, which can be used as a reference in the model function, a value, a flag of whether it’s a free parameter, and if it’s free, a function that translates the unit hypercube into physical space. The remainder of the arguments deal with the corner plots.

Args:
namestring

The name of the parameter. Must match the name used in the model function.

is_free_parameterbool

True if the parameter should be sampled in the retrieval

valuefloat

The value of the parameter. Set using set_param.

transform_prior_cube_coordinatemethod

Transform the unit interval [0,1] to the physical space of the parameter.

plot_in_cornerbool

True if this parameter should be included in the output corner plot

corner_rangesTuple(float,float)

The axis range of the parameter in the corner plot

corner_transformmethod

A function to scale or transform the value of the parameter for prettier plotting.

corner_labelstring

The axis label for the parameter, defaults to name.
