📚 Core Compoents

1. Data

from pyFitting import ArrayData

x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
y = 2.5 * np.exp(-0.5 * ((x - 5) / 1)**2) + 0.1 + noise
# Simple x, y data
data = ArrayData(x, y)

# With weights
data = ArrayData(x, y, weights=weights)

# Transform to log space
data_log = data.transform('log')

# Apply range mask
data.apply_range_mask(x_min=0, x_max=10)

2. Models

Built-in models:

GaussianModel - Gaussian peak ExponentialModel - Exponential decay LinearModel - Linear function PowerLawModel - Power law (for backgrounds) PolynomialModel - Polynomial of any degree Custom models:

from pyFitting import BaseModel

class MyModel(BaseModel):
    def evaluate(self, x, a, b, c):
        return a * np.exp(b * x) + c
    
    def get_initial_guess(self, x, y):
        return {'a': y.max(), 'b': 0.1, 'c': y.min()}

model = MyModel()
model.set_bounds(a=(0, 10), b=(-1, 1), c=(-1, 1))

3. Loss Functions

from pyFitting import MSELoss, Chi2Loss, CorrelationLoss

# Mean squared error (in log space)
loss = MSELoss(use_log=True)

# Chi-squared
loss = Chi2Loss()

# Correlation loss (good for SAXS)
loss = CorrelationLoss(use_log=True)

4. Optimizers

from pyFitting import LocalOptimizer

# SLSQP (recommended - robust and fast)
optimizer = LocalOptimizer('SLSQP')

# Trust-region (most robust)
optimizer = LocalOptimizer('trust-constr')

# Powell (derivative-free)
optimizer = LocalOptimizer('Powell')

5. Complete Example

from pyFitting import (
    Fitter,
    ArrayData,
    ExponentialModel,
    MSELoss,
    LocalOptimizer
)

# Data
data = ArrayData(x, y)

# Model
model = ExponentialModel()
model.set_parameters(A=1.0, k=0.5, c=0.0)
model.set_bounds(A=(0, 10), k=(0, 5), c=(-1, 1))

# Loss
loss = MSELoss(use_log=True)

# Optimizer
optimizer = LocalOptimizer('SLSQP')

# Fit
fitter = Fitter(data, model, loss, optimizer)
result = fitter.fit(verbose=True)

# Results
result.summary()
result.to_dataframe().to_csv('fit_results.csv')

5. ✅ Visualization Module

from pyFitting.visualization import (
    plot_fit,                    # Basic fit plot
    plot_residuals,              # Residuals only
    plot_fit_with_residuals,     # 2x1 layout
    plot_parameter_corners,      # Corner plot
    plot_diagnostics,            # 4-panel diagnostics
    plot_comparison              # Compare multiple fits

    
)

pythonfrom pyFitting import Fitter, ArrayData, GaussianModel
from pyFitting.visualization import plot_fit_with_residuals

data = ArrayData(x, y)
result = Fitter(data, GaussianModel()).fit()

# Create beautiful plots
plot_fit_with_residuals(result, save='analysis.png')

Features:

Professional quality plots Publication-ready Log scale support Parameter annotations Confidence intervals Residual analysis

Note: matplotlib is optional - install with pip install matplotlib

🔧 Advanced Usage

Compare Optimizers

from pyFitting import compare_optimizers

# Test multiple optimization methods
results = compare_optimizers(
    objective_function,
    x0=initial_guess,
    bounds=parameter_bounds,
    methods=['SLSQP', 'trust-constr', 'Powell']
)

# Find best
best_method = max(results, key=lambda k: results[k].fun)

Custom Loss Function

from pyFitting import ILoss

class MyLoss(ILoss):
    def compute(self, y_data, y_model, weights=None):
        # Your custom loss
        return np.sum((y_data - y_model)**4)  # L4 norm

loss = MyLoss()
result = Fitter(data, model, loss=loss).fit()

🚀 Usage Examples

Example 1: Simplest Possible

from pyFitting import Fitter, ArrayData, GaussianModel

data = ArrayData(x, y)
result = Fitter(data, GaussianModel()).fit()
result.summary()

Example 2: With Custom Settings

from pyFitting import Fitter, ArrayData, ExponentialModel, CorrelationLoss

data = ArrayData(x, y)
model = ExponentialModel()
model.set_bounds(A=(0, 10), k=(0, 5), c=(-1, 1))

loss = CorrelationLoss(use_log=True)
result = Fitter(data, model, loss=loss, optimizer='SLSQP').fit()

Example 3: Custom Model

from pyFitting import BaseModel, Fitter, ArrayData

class MyModel(BaseModel):
    def evaluate(self, x, a, b):
        return a * np.sin(b * x)
    
    def get_initial_guess(self, x, y):
        return {'a': y.max(), 'b': 1.0}

result = Fitter(data, MyModel()).fit()

Example 4: A quick Start

from pyFitting import Fitter, ArrayData, GaussianModel

# Your data
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
y = 2.5 * np.exp(-0.5 * ((x - 5) / 1)**2) + 0.1 + noise

# Create data object
data = ArrayData(x, y)

# Choose model
model = GaussianModel()

# Fit
fitter = Fitter(data, model)
result = fitter.fit()

# View results
result.summary()

# Access fitted parameters
print(result.parameters.values)
print(f"R² = {result.metrics['r2']:.4f}")

🔮 What's Next? (Phase 2)

SAXS Support

We'll add SAXS-specific components:

# Future (Phase 2):
from pyFitting.saxs import SAXSData, FormFactorModel, CompositeModel

# SAXS data
data = SAXSData(q, iq).transform('log')

# Your form factor table
model = FormFactorModel(table, shape='cube')

# Add power-law background
from pyFitting import PowerLawModel
full_model = CompositeModel([model, PowerLawModel()])

# Fit (same interface!)
result = Fitter(data, full_model).fit()

This will integrate your existing SAXS code!
