__eq__(other: object) → bool

Compares two Limits for equality without graph mode allowed.

Returns:
Return type:bool

  • () (limits) –
  • ()
  • name (str) –
Returns:

Returns:

New indices that would reorder the instances obs to be obs respectively axes.

Return type:

Test if x is inside the limits.

This function should be used to test if values are inside the limits. If the given x is already inside the rectangular limits, e.g. because it was sampled from within them

Parameters:

is_generator
iter_areas(rel: bool = False) → Tuple[float, ...][source]
iter_limits

REMOVED.Return the limits, either as Space objects or as pure limits-tuple. (deprecated)

Warning: THIS FUNCTION IS DEPRECATED. It will be removed in a future version. Instructions for updating: Iterate over the space directly and use the limits from the spaces.

This makes iterating over limits easier: for limit in space.iter_limits() allows to, for example, pass limit to a function that can deal with simple limits only or if as_tuple is True the limit can be directly used to calculate something.

Example

for lower, upper in space.iter_limits(as_tuple=True):
    integrals = integrate(lower, upper)  # calculate integral
integral = sum(integrals)
Returns:
Return type:List[Space] or List[limit,…]
less_equal(other, allow_graph)

Set-like comparison for compatibility. If an object is less_equal to another, the limits are combatible.

This can be used to determine whether a fitting range specification can handle another limit.

If called inside a graph context and the limits are tensors, this will return a symbolic tf.Tensor.

Parameters:
  • other – Any other object to compare with
  • allow_graph – If False and the function returns a symbolic tensor, raise IllegalInGraphModeError instead.
Returns:

result of the comparison

Return type:

bool

Raises:

IllegalInGraphModeError – it the comparison happens with tensors in a graph context.

DEPRECATED FUNCTION

Warning: THIS FUNCTION IS DEPRECATED. It will be removed in a future version. Instructions for updating: Depreceated, use .rect_limits or .inside to check if a value is inside or userect_limits to receive the rectangular limits.

limits

Return the tuple(lower, upper).

limits1d

return the tuple(low_1, …, low_n, up_1, …, up_n).

so low_1, low_2, up_1, up_2 = space.limits1d for several, 1 obs limits.
low_1 to up_1 is the first interval, low_2 to up_2 is the second interval etc.
Return type:tuple(float, float, ..)
Raises:RuntimeError – if the conditions (n_obs or n_limits) are not satisfied.
Type:Simplified .limits for exactly 1 obs, n limits
limits_are_false

If the limits have been set to False, so the object on purpose does not contain limits.

Returns:True if limits is False
Return type:bool
limits_are_set

If the limits have been set to a limit or are False.

Returns:Whether the limits have been set or not.
Return type:bool

Returns:

obs_axes
rect_area() → Union[float, numpy.ndarray, tensorflow.python.framework.ops.Tensor]

Calculate the total rectangular area of all the limits and axes. Useful, for example, for MC integration.

rect_limits

Return the rectangular limits as np.ndarray``tf.Tensor if they are set and not false.

The rectangular limits can be used for sampling. They do not in general represent the limits of the object as a functional limit can be set and to check if something is inside the limits, the method inside() should be used.

In order to test if the limits are False or None, it is recommended to use the appropriate methods limits_are_false and limits_are_set.

Returns:The lower and upper limits.
Return type:tuple(np.ndarray/tf.Tensor, np.ndarray/tf.Tensor) or bool or None
Raises:LimitsNotSpecifiedError – If there are not limits set or they are False.
rect_limits_are_tensors

Return True if the rectangular limits are tensors.

If a limit with tensors is evaluated inside a graph context, comparison operations will fail.

Returns:if the rectangular limits are tensors.
Return type:bool
rect_limits_np

Return the rectangular limits as np.ndarray. Raise error if not possible.

Rectangular limits are returned as numpy arrays which can be useful when doing checks that do not need to be involved in the computation later on as they allow direct interaction with Python as compared to tf.Tensor inside a graph function.

In order to test if the limits are False or None, it is recommended to use the appropriate methods limits_are_false and limits_are_set.

Returns:

A tuple of two np.ndarray with shape (1, n_obs) typically. The last

dimension is always n_obs, the first can be vectorized. This allows unstacking with z.unstack_x() as can be done with data.

Return type:

(lower, upper)

Raises:

Returns:The upper, rectangular limits as np.ndarray or tf.Tensor
Raises:LimitsNotSpecifiedError – If the limits are not set or are false
reorder_x(x: Union[tensorflow.python.framework.ops.Tensor, numpy.ndarray], *, x_obs: Union[str, Iterable[str], zfit.Space] = None, x_axes: Union[int, Iterable[int]] = None, func_obs: Union[str, Iterable[str], zfit.Space] = None, func_axes: Union[int, Iterable[int]] = None) → Union[numpy.ndarray, tensorflow.python.framework.ops.Tensor]

Reorder x in the last dimension either according to its own obs or assuming a function ordered with func_obs.

There are two obs or axes around: the one associated with this Coordinate object and the one associated with x. If x_obs or x_axes is given, then this is assumed to be the obs resp. the axes of x and x will be reordered according to self.obs resp. self.axes.

If func_obs resp. func_axes is given, then x is assumed to have self.obs resp. self.axes and will be reordered to align with a function ordered with func_obs resp. func_axes.

Switching func_obs for x_obs resp. func_axes for x_axes inverts the reordering of x.

Parameters:
  • x (tensor-like) – Tensor to be reordered, last dimension should be n_obs resp. n_axes
  • x_obs – Observables associated with x. If both, x_obs and x_axes are given, this has precedency over the latter.
  • x_axes – Axes associated with x.
  • func_obs – Observables associated with a function that x will be given to. Reorders x accordingly and assumes self.obs to be the obs of x. If both, func_obs and func_axes are given, this has precedency over the latter.
  • func_axes – Axe associated with a function that x will be given to. Reorders x accordingly and assumes self.axes to be the axes of x.
Returns:

the reordered array-like object

Return type:

tensor-like

upper
with_autofill_axes(overwrite: bool = False) → zfit.core.space.Space

Overwrite the axes of the current object with axes corresponding to range(len(n_obs)).

This effectively fills with (0, 1, 2,…) and can be used mostly when an object enters a PDF or similar. overwrite allows to remove the axis first in case there are already some set.

Parameters:overwrite (bool) – If axes are already set, replace the axes with the autofilled ones. If axes is already set and overwrite is False, raise an error.
Returns:the object with the new axes
Return type:ZfitSpace
Raises:AxesIncompatibleError – if the axes are already set and overwrite is False.
with_axes(axes: Union[int, Iterable[int], None], allow_superset: bool = True, allow_subset: bool = True) → zfit.core.interfaces.ZfitSpace

Create a new instance that has axes; sorted by or set or dropped.

The behavior is as follows:

  • axes are already set: * input axes are None: the axes will be dropped. If no observables are set, an error

    will be raised, as no coordinates will be assigned to this instance anymore.

    • input axes are not None: the instance will be sorted by the incoming axes. If obs or other objects have an associated order (e.g. data, limits,…), they will be reordered as well. If a strict subset is given (and allow_subset is True), only a subset will be returned. This can be used to retrieve a subspace of limits, data etc. If a strict superset is given (and allow_superset is True), the axes will be sorted accordingly as if the axes not contained in the instances axes were not present in the input axes.
  • axes are not set: * if the input axes are None, the same object is returned. * if the input axes are not None, they will be set as-is and now correspond to the already

    existing obs in the object.

Parameters:
  • axes – Axes to sort/associate this instance with
  • allow_superset – if False and a strict superset of the own axeservables is given, an error
  • raised. (is) –
  • allow_subset – if False and a strict subset of the own axeservables is given, an error
  • raised.
Returns:

a copy of the object with the new ordering/axes

Return type:

Space

Raises:
  • CoordinatesUnderdefinedError – if obs is None and the instance does not have axes
  • AxesIncompatibleError – if axes is a superset and allow_superset is False or a subset and allow_allow_subset is False
with_coords(coords: zfit.core.interfaces.ZfitOrderableDimensional, allow_superset: bool = True, allow_subset: bool = True) → zfit.core.space.Space

Create a new Space with reordered observables and/or axes.

The behavior is that _at least one coordinate (obs or axes) has to be set in both instances (the space itself or in coords). If both match, observables is taken as the defining coordinate. The space is sorted according to the defining coordinate and the other coordinate is sorted as well. If either the space did not have the “weaker coordinate” (e.g. both have observables, but only coords has axes), then the resulting Space will have both. If both have both coordinates, obs and axes, and sorting for obs results in non-matchin axes results in axes being dropped.

Parameters:
  • coords – An instance of Coordinates
  • allow_superset – If False and a strict superset is given, an error is raised
  • allow_subset – If False and a strict subset is given, an error is raised
Returns:

Return type:

Space

Raises:
  • CoordinatesUnderdefinedError – if neither both obs or axes are specified.
  • CoordinatesIncompatibleError – if coords is a superset and allow_superset is False or a subset and allow_allow_subset is False

Return a copy of the space with the new limits (and the new name).

Parameters:
  • limits – Limits to use. Can be rectangular, a function (requires to also specify rect_limits or an instance of ZfitLimit.
  • rect_limits – Rectangular limits that will be assigned with the instance
  • name – Human readable name
Returns:

Copy of the current object with the new limits.

Return type:

Space

with_obs(obs: Union[str, Iterable[str], zfit.Space, None], allow_superset: bool = True, allow_subset: bool = True) → zfit.core.interfaces.ZfitSpace

Create a new Space that has obs; sorted by or set or dropped.

The behavior is as follows:

  • obs are already set: * input obs are None: the observables will be dropped. If no axes are set, an error

    will be raised, as no coordinates will be assigned to this instance anymore.

    • input obs are not None: the instance will be sorted by the incoming obs. If axes or other objects have an associated order (e.g. data, limits,…), they will be reordered as well. If a strict subset is given (and allow_subset is True), only a subset will be returned. This can be used to take a subspace of limits, data etc. If a strict superset is given (and allow_superset is True), the obs will be sorted accordingly as if the obs not contained in the instances obs were not in the input obs.
  • obs are not set: * if the input obs are None, the same object is returned. * if the input obs are not None, they will be set as-is and now correspond to the already

    existing axes in the object.

Parameters:
  • obs – Observables to sort/associate this instance with
  • allow_superset – if False and a strict superset of the own observables is given, an error
  • raised. (is) –
  • allow_subset – if False and a strict subset of the own observables is given, an error
  • raised.
Returns:

a copy of the object with the new ordering/observables

Return type:

Space

Raises:
  • CoordinatesUnderdefinedError – if obs is None and the instance does not have axes
  • ObsIncompatibleError – if obs is a superset and allow_superset is False or a subset and allow_allow_subset is False
