在scipy.optimize.fmin_cobyla中指定约束以进行参数估计时出错

我在Canopy中使用python 2.7,并且我试图通过最小化数据和模型预测之间的均方误差来拟合模型的6个参数。我使用COBYLA,因为我需要参数值的界限,而且我没有梯度。

目前,我有:

import numpy as np
import scipy.optimize as opt

def cost_func(pars,y,x):
    y_hat = model_output(pars,x)
    mse = np.mean((y-y_hat)**2)
    return mse

def make_constraints(par_min,par_max):
    cons = []    
    for (i,(a,b)) in enumerate(zip(par_min,par_max)):
        lower = lambda x: x[i] - a
        upper = lambda x: b - x[i]
        cons = cons + [lower] + [upper]
    return cons

def estimate_parameters(par_min, par_max,par_init,x,y):
    cons = make_constraints(par_min,par_max)
    opt_pars = opt.fmin_cobyla(cost_func,pars,cons,args=([y,x]))
    return opt_pars

然而我收到错误:

TypeError: <lambda>() takes exactly 1 argument (3 given)

这个错误对我来说并不完全清楚,但我的理解是3个参数被传递给我的约束函数。但是,我无法解决这三个论点的来源。

我已经查看过有关此问题的其他stackoverflow问题并从中获取了我可以使用的内容,但我仍然遇到此问题

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:1)

如果consargs的参数fmin_cobylaNone,则约束函数也会传递*args,其中args是赋予{{1}的参数}}。要不向约束函数传递其他参数,请使用fmin_cobyla

或者,在函数consargs=()中,更改此

make_constraints

        lower = lambda x: x[i] - a
        upper = lambda x: b - x[i]
