Space
Bases: zfit.core.space.BaseSpace
zfit.core.space.BaseSpace
Define a space with the name (obs) of the axes (and it’s number) and possibly it’s limits.
A space can be thought of as coordinates, possibly with the definition of a range (limits). For most use-cases, it is sufficient to specify a Space via observables; simple string identifiers. They can be multidimensional.
Observables are like the columns of a spreadsheet/dataframe, and are therefore needed for any object that does numerical operations or holds data in order to match the right axes. On object creation, the observables are assigned using a Space. This is often used as the default space of an object and can be used as the default norm_range, sampling limits etc.
Axes are the same concept as observables, but numbers, indexes, and are used inside an object. There, axes 0 corresponds to the 0th data column we get (which corresponds to a certain observable).
Every space can have limits; they are either rectangular or an arbitrary function (together with rectangular limits). Spaces can be combined (multiplied) to create higher dimensional spaces. Spaces can be added, which combines them into one Space consisting of two disconnected limits.
So integrating over the space consisting of the two added disconnected ranges, e.g. 0 to 1 and 2 to 3 will return the sum of the two separate integrals.
lower_band = zfit.Space('obs1', (0, 1)) upper_band = zfit.Space('obs1', (2, 3)) combined_obs = lower_band + upper_band integral_comb = model.integrate(limits=combined_obs) # which is equivalent to the lower integral_sep = model.integrate(limits=lower_band) + model.integrate(limits=upper_band) assert integral_comb == integral_sep
In principle, the same behavior could also be achieved by specifying an arbitrary function. Using the addition allows for certain optimizations inside.

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.

LimitsNotSpecifiedError – If there are not limits set or they are False.
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.
Tuple[ndarray, ndarray]
dimension is always n_obs, the first can be vectorized. This allows unstacking with z.unstack_x() as can be done with data.
CannotConvertToNumpyError – In case the conversion fails.
LimitsNotSpecifiedError – If the limits are not set
rect_lower
The lower, rectangular limits, equivalent to rect_limits[0] with shape (…, n_obs)

rect_area
Calculate the total rectangular area of all the limits and axes. Useful, for example, for MC integration.
Union[float, ndarray, Tensor]
rect_limits_are_tensors

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.
limits1d
return the tuple(low_1, …, low_n, up_1, …, up_n).
Tuple[float]
low_1 to up_1 is the first interval, low_2 to up_2 is the second interval etc.

Simplified .limits for exactly 1 obs, n limits
n_limits
The number of different limits.
int >= 1
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)
List[Space] or List[limit,…]
with_limits
Return a copy of the space with the new limits (and the new name).
limits (Union[ZfitLimit, Tensor, ndarray, Iterable[float], float, Tuple[float], List[float], bool, None]) – Limits to use. Can be rectangular, a function (requires to also specify rect_limits or an instance of ZfitLimit.
rect_limits (Union[Tensor, ndarray, Iterable[float], float, Tuple[float], List[float], None]) – Rectangular limits that will be assigned with the instance
name (Optional[str]) – Human readable name
ZfitSpace
Copy of the current object with the new limits.
reorder_x
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.
x (Union[Tensor, ndarray]) – Tensor to be reordered, last dimension should be n_obs resp. n_axes
x_obs (Union[str, Iterable[str], Space, None]) – Observables associated with x. If both, x_obs and x_axes are given, this has precedency over the latter.
x_axes (Union[int, Iterable[int], None]) – Axes associated with x.
func_obs (Union[str, Iterable[str], Space, None]) – 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 (Union[int, Iterable[int], None]) – Axe associated with a function that x will be given to. Reorders x accordingly and assumes self.axes to be the axes of x.
Union[ndarray, Tensor]
The reordered array-like object
with_obs
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.

raised. –
A copy of the object with the new ordering/observables
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
with_axes
Create a new instance that has axes; sorted by or set or dropped.
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.

A copy of the object with the new ordering/axes
AxesIncompatibleError – if axes is a superset and allow_superset is False or a subset and allow_allow_subset is False
with_coords
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.
coords (ZfitOrderableDimensional) – An instance of Coordinates
ZfitOrderableDimensional

CoordinatesIncompatibleError – if coords is a superset and allow_superset is False or a subset and allow_allow_subset is False
with_autofill_axes
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.
object.obs -> ('x', 'z', 'y') object.axes -> None object.with_autofill_axes() object.obs -> ('x', 'z', 'y') object.axes -> (0, 1, 2)
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.

AxesIncompatibleError – if the axes are already set and overwrite is False.
get_subspace
Create a Space consisting of only a subset of the obs/axes (only one allowed).

__eq__
Compares two Limits for equality without graph mode allowed.
IllegalInGraphModeError – it the comparison happens with tensors in a graph context.
