Bases:
AbstractPySwarms
A PySwarms Particle Swarm Optimizer global non-linear search.

- Parameters:
name – The name of the search, controlling the last folder results are output.
path_prefix – The path of folders prefixing the name folder where results are output.
unique_tag – The name of a unique tag for this model-fit, which will be given a unique entry in the sqlite database and also acts as the folder after the path prefix and before the search name.
prior_passer – Controls how priors are passed from the results of this NonLinearSearch to a subsequent non-linear search.
initializer – Generates the initialize samples of non-linear parameter space (see autofit.non_linear.initializer).
number_of_cores – The number of cores Emcee sampling is performed using a Python multiprocessing Pool instance. If 1, a pool instance is not created and the job runs in serial.
Methods
check_model
config_dict_with_test_mode_settings_from
copy_with_paths
exact_fit
fit
Fit a model, M with some function f that takes instances of the class represented by model M and gives a score for their fitness.
fit_sequential
Fit multiple analyses contained within the analysis sequentially.
fitness_function_from_model_and_analysis
make_pool
Make the pool instance used to parallelize a NonLinearSearch alongside a set of unique ids for every process in the pool.
make_sneaky_pool
Create a pool for multiprocessing that uses slight-of-hand to avoid copying the fitness function between processes multiple times.
optimise
Perform optimisation for expectation propagation.
perform_update
Perform an update of the non-linear search's model-fitting results.
perform_visualization
Perform visualization of the non-linear search's model-fitting results.
plot_results
remove_state_files
Get the static Dynesty sampler which performs the non-linear search, passing it all associated input Dynesty variables.
