Base Cost Function

class pbparam.BaseCostFunction

Base cost function class

This class provide a base for defining cost functions, it defines the method that should be implemented in subclasses to evaluate the cost of a prediction.

evaluate(y_sim, y_data, weights, sd=None)

Placeholder method for evaluating the cost of a prediction

Subclasses will override this method to provide specific implementations

Parameters:

• y_sim (array-like) – predicted values

• y_data (array-like) – actual values

• weights (dict, optional) – weights of the parameters

• sd (float, optional) – standard deviation of error, not all cost function need it.
