How to correctly include uncertainties in fitting with python
I am trying to fit some data points with y uncertainties in python. The data are labeled in python as x,y and yerr. I need to do a linear fit on that data in loglog scale. As a reference if the fit results are properly, i compare the python results with the ones from Scidavis
I tried curve_fit with
def func(x, a, b):
return np.exp(a* np.log(x)+np.log(b))
popt, pcov = curve_fit(func, x, y,sigma=yerr)
as well as kmpfit with
def funcL(p, x):
a,b = p
return ( np.exp(a*np.log(x)+np.log(b)) )
def residualsL(p, data):
a,b=p
x, y, errorfit = data
return (y-funcL(p,x)) / errorfit
a0=1
b0=0.1
p0 = [a0,b0]
fitterL = kmpfit.Fitter(residuals=residualsL, data=(x,y,yerr))
fitterL.parinfo = [{}, {}]
fitterL.fit(params0=p0)
and when i am trying to fit the data with one of those without uncertainties (ie setting yerr=1), everything works just fine and the results are identical with the ones from scidavis. But if i set yerr to the uncertainties of the data file i get some disturbing results. In python i get ie a=0.86 and in scidavis a=0.14. I read something about that the errors are included as weights. Do i have to change anything, in order to calculate the fit correctly? Or what am i doing wrong?
edit: here is an example of a data file (x,y,yerr)
3.942387e-02 1.987800e+00 5.513165e-01
6.623142e-02 7.126161e+00 1.425232e+00
9.348280e-02 1.238530e+01 1.536208e+00
1.353088e-01 1.090471e+01 7.829126e-01
2.028446e-01 1.023087e+01 3.839575e-01
3.058446e-01 8.403626e+00 1.756866e-01
4.584524e-01 7.345275e+00 8.442288e-02
6.879677e-01 6.128521e+00 3.847194e-02
1.032592e+00 5.359025e+00 1.837428e-02
1.549152e+00 5.380514e+00 1.007010e-02
2.323985e+00 6.404229e+00 6.534108e-03
3.355974e+00 9.489101e+00 6.342546e-03
4.384128e+00 1.497998e+01 2.273233e-02
and the result:
in python:
without uncertainties: a=0.06216 +/- 0.00650 ; b=8.53594 +/- 1.13985
with uncertainties: a=0.86051 +/- 0.01640 ; b=3.38081 +/- 0.22667
in scidavis:
without uncertainties: a = 0.06216 +/- 0.08060; b = 8.53594 +/- 1.06763
with uncertainties: a = 0.14154 +/- 0.005731; b = 7.38213 +/- 2.13653
I must be misunderstanding something. Your posted data does not look anything like
f(x,a,b) = np.exp(a*np.log(x)+np.log(b))
The red line is the result of scipy.optimize.curve_fit
, the green line is the result of scidavis.
My guess is that neither algorithm is converging toward a good fit, so it is not surprising that the results do not match.
I can't explain how scidavis finds its parameters, but according to the definitions as I understand them, scipy
is finding parameters with lower least squares residuals than scidavis
:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import scipy.optimize as optimize
def func(x, a, b):
return np.exp(a* np.log(x)+np.log(b))
def sum_square(residuals):
return (residuals**2).sum()
def residuals(p, x, y, sigma):
return 1.0/sigma*(y - func(x, *p))
data = np.loadtxt('test.dat').reshape((-1,3))
x, y, yerr = np.rollaxis(data, axis = 1)
sigma = yerr
popt, pcov = optimize.curve_fit(func, x, y, sigma = sigma, maxfev = 10000)
print('popt: {p}'.format(p = popt))
scidavis = (0.14154, 7.38213)
print('scidavis: {p}'.format(p = scidavis))
print('''
sum of squares for scipy: {sp}
sum of squares for scidavis: {d}
'''.format(
sp = sum_square(residuals(popt, x = x, y = y, sigma = sigma)),
d = sum_square(residuals(scidavis, x = x, y = y, sigma = sigma))
))
plt.plot(x, y, 'bo', x, func(x,*popt), 'r-', x, func(x, *scidavis), 'g-')
plt.errorbar(x, y, yerr)
plt.show()
yields
popt: [ 0.86051258 3.38081125]
scidavis: (0.14154, 7.38213)
sum of squares for scipy: 53249.9915654
sum of squares for scidavis: 239654.84276
