pint.models.absolute_phase.AbsPhase

class pint.models.absolute_phase.AbsPhase

Bases: PhaseComponent

Absolute phase model.

The model defines the absolute phase’s reference time and observatory.

Parameters supported:

Name / Aliases	Description	Kind
TZRMJD	Epoch of the zero phase TOA.	d
TZRSITE	Observatory of the zero phase TOA.	string
TZRFRQ	The frequency of the zero phase TOA.	MHz

Note

Although this class is considered as a phase component, it does not provide the phase_func

Methods

add_param(param[, deriv_func, setup])	Add a parameter to the Component.
get_TZR_toa(toas)	Get the TOAs class for the TZRMJD.
get_params_of_type(param_type)	Get all the parameters in timing model for one specific type.
get_prefix_mapping_component(prefix)	Get the index mapping for the prefix parameters.
is_in_parfile(para_dict)	Check if this subclass included in parfile.
make_TZR_toa(toas)	Calculate the TZRMJD if one not given.
match_param_aliases(alias)	Return the parameter corresponding to this alias.
param_help()	Print help lines for all available parameters in model.
print_par([format])	param format: Parfile output format. PINT outputs the 'tempo', 'tempo2' and 'pint'
register_deriv_funcs(func, param)	Register the derivative function in to the deriv_func dictionaries.
remove_param(param)	Remove a parameter from the Component.
set_special_params(spcl_params)
setup()	Finalize construction loaded values.
validate()	Validate loaded values.
validate_toas(toas)	Check that this model component has TOAs where needed.

Attributes

aliases_map	Return all the aliases and map to the PINT parameter name.
category
component_types
free_params_component	Return the free parameters in the component.
param_prefixs
register

setup()

Finalize construction loaded values.

validate()

Validate loaded values.

get_TZR_toa(toas)

Get the TOAs class for the TZRMJD.

We are treating the TZRMJD as a special TOA. Note that any observatory clock corrections will be applied to this TOA, as with any other TOA. This does not affect the value of the TZRMJD parameter, however.

make_TZR_toa(toas)

Calculate the TZRMJD if one not given.

TZRMJD = first toa after PEPOCH.

add_param(param, deriv_func=None, setup=False)

Add a parameter to the Component.

The parameter is stored in an attribute on the Component object. Its name is also recorded in a list, self.params.

Parameters:

• param (pint.models.Parameter) – The parameter to be added.

• deriv_func (function) – Derivative function for parameter.

property aliases_map

Return all the aliases and map to the PINT parameter name.

This property returns a dictionary from the current in timing model parameters’ aliase to the pint defined parameter names. For the aliases of a prefixed parameter, the aliase with an existing prefix index maps to the PINT defined parameter name with the same index. Behind the scenes, the indexed parameter adds the indexed aliase to its aliase list.

property free_params_component

Return the free parameters in the component.

This function collects the non-frozen parameters.

Return type:

A list of free parameters.

get_params_of_type(param_type)

Get all the parameters in timing model for one specific type.

get_prefix_mapping_component(prefix)

Get the index mapping for the prefix parameters.

Parameters:

prefix (str) – Name of prefix.

Returns:

A dictionary with prefix parameter real index as key and parameter name as value.

Return type:

dict

is_in_parfile(para_dict)

Check if this subclass included in parfile.

Parameters:

para_dict (dictionary) – A dictionary contain all the parameters with values in string from one parfile

Returns:

Whether the subclass is included in the parfile.

Return type:

bool

match_param_aliases(alias)

Return the parameter corresponding to this alias.

Parameters:

alias (str) – Alias name.

Note

This function only searches the parameter aliases within the current component. If one wants to search the aliases in the scope of TimingModel, please use TimingModel.match_param_aliase().

param_help()

Print help lines for all available parameters in model.

print_par(format='pint')

Parameters:

format (str, optional) – Parfile output format. PINT outputs the ‘tempo’, ‘tempo2’ and ‘pint’ format. The defaul format is pint. Actual formatting done elsewhere.

Returns:

str

Return type:

formatted line for par file

register_deriv_funcs(func, param)

Register the derivative function in to the deriv_func dictionaries.

Parameters:

• func (callable) – Calculates the derivative

• param (str) – Name of parameter the derivative is with respect to

remove_param(param)

Remove a parameter from the Component.

Parameters:

param (str or pint.models.Parameter) – The parameter to remove.

validate_toas(toas)

Check that this model component has TOAs where needed.
