Scipy's Optimize Curve Fit Limits

Question

Is there any way I can provide limits for the Scipy\'s Optimize Curve Fit?

My example:

    def optimized_formula(x, m_1, m_2, y_1, y_2, ratio_2):
            


        

Answer 1

Since curve_fit() uses a least squares approach, you might want to look at scipy.optimize.fmin_slsqp(), which allows do perform constrained optimizations. Check this tutorial on how to use it.
