firecrown.parameters.DerivedParameter

class firecrown.parameters.DerivedParameter(section, name, val)

Bases: object

Represents a derived scalar parameter generated by an Updatable object.

This class provide the type that encapsulate a derived scalar quantity (represented

by a float) computed by an Updatable object during a statistical analysis.

Parameters:

• section (str) –

• name (str) –

• val (float) –

Public Methods:

__init__(section, name, val)	Initialize the DerivedParameter object.
get_val()	Return the value of this parameter.
__eq__(other)	Compare two DerivedParameter objects for equality.
get_full_name()	Constructs the full name using section--name.

---

__eq__(other)

Compare two DerivedParameter objects for equality.

This implementation raises a NotImplemented exception unless both objects are DerivedParameter objects.

Two DerivedParameter objects are equal if they have the same section, name and value.

Parameters:

other (object) –

Return type:

bool

get_full_name()

Constructs the full name using section–name.

get_val()

Return the value of this parameter.

Return type:

float
