Pass tuple as input argument for scipy.optimize.curve_fit

Question

I have the following code:

import numpy as np
from scipy.optimize import curve_fit


def func(x, p): return p[0] + p[1] + x


popt, pcov = curve_fit(func, np.ara         


        

Answer 1

Not sure if this is cleaner, but at least it is easier now to add more parameters to the fitting function. Maybe one could even make an even better solution out of this.

import numpy as np
from scipy.optimize import curve_fit


def func(x, p): return p[0] + p[1] * x

def func2(*args):
    return func(args[0],args[1:])

popt, pcov = curve_fit(func2, np.arange(10), np.arange(10), p0=(0, 0))
print popt,pcov

EDIT: This works for me

import numpy as np
from scipy.optimize import curve_fit

def func(x, *p): return p[0] + p[1] * x

popt, pcov = curve_fit(func, np.arange(10), np.arange(10), p0=(0, 0))
print popt,pcov
