===================== Line/Spectrum Fitting ===================== One of the primary tasks in spectroscopic analysis is fitting models of spectra. This concept is often applied mainly to line-fitting, but the same general approach applies to continuum fitting or even full-spectrum fitting. ``specutils`` provides conveniences that aim to leverage the general fitting framework of `astropy.modeling` to spectral-specific tasks. At a high level, this fitting takes the `~specutils.Spectrum1D` object and a list of `~astropy.modeling.Model` objects that have initial guesses for each of the parameters. these are used to create a compound model created from the model initial guesses. This model is then actually fit to the spectrum's ``flux``, yielding a single composite model result (which can be split back into its components if desired). Line Finding ------------ There are two techniques implemented in order to find emission and/or absorption lines in a `~specutils.Spectrum1D` spectrum. The first technique is `~specutils.fitting.find_lines_threshold` that will find lines by thresholding the flux based on a factor applied to the spectrum uncertainty. The second technique is `~specutils.fitting.find_lines_derivative` that will find the lines based on calculating the derivative and then thresholding based on it. Both techniques return an `~astropy.table.QTable` that contains columns ``line_center``, ``line_type`` and ``line_center_index``. We start with a synthetic spectrum: .. plot:: :include-source: :align: center >>> import numpy as np >>> from astropy.modeling import models >>> import astropy.units as u >>> from specutils import Spectrum1D, SpectralRegion >>> np.random.seed(42) >>> g1 = models.Gaussian1D(1, 4.6, 0.2) >>> g2 = models.Gaussian1D(2.5, 5.5, 0.1) >>> g3 = models.Gaussian1D(-1.7, 8.2, 0.1) >>> x = np.linspace(0, 10, 200) >>> y = g1(x) + g2(x) + g3(x) + np.random.normal(0., 0.2, x.shape) >>> spectrum = Spectrum1D(flux=y*u.Jy, spectral_axis=x*u.um) >>> from matplotlib import pyplot as plt >>> plt.plot(spectrum.spectral_axis, spectrum.flux) # doctest: +IGNORE_OUTPUT >>> plt.xlabel('Spectral Axis ({})'.format(spectrum.spectral_axis.unit)) # doctest: +IGNORE_OUTPUT >>> plt.ylabel('Flux Axis({})'.format(spectrum.flux.unit)) # doctest: +IGNORE_OUTPUT >>> plt.grid(True) # doctest: +IGNORE_OUTPUT While we know the true uncertainty here, this is often not the case with real data. Therefore, since `~specutils.fitting.find_lines_threshold` requires an uncertainty, we will produce an estimate of the uncertainty by calling the `~specutils.manipulation.noise_region_uncertainty` function: .. code-block:: python >>> from specutils.manipulation import noise_region_uncertainty >>> noise_region = SpectralRegion(0*u.um, 3*u.um) >>> spectrum = noise_region_uncertainty(spectrum, noise_region) >>> from specutils.fitting import find_lines_threshold >>> lines = find_lines_threshold(spectrum, noise_factor=3) # doctest: +IGNORE_WARNINGS >>> lines[lines['line_type'] == 'emission'] # doctest:+FLOAT_CMP line_center line_type line_center_index um float64 str10 int64 ----------------- --------- ----------------- 4.572864321608041 emission 91 4.824120603015076 emission 96 5.477386934673367 emission 109 8.99497487437186 emission 179 >>> lines[lines['line_type'] == 'absorption'] # doctest:+FLOAT_CMP line_center line_type line_center_index um float64 str10 int64 ----------------- ---------- ----------------- 8.190954773869347 absorption 163 An example using the `~specutils.fitting.find_lines_derivative`: .. code-block:: python >>> # Define a noise region for adding the uncertainty >>> noise_region = SpectralRegion(0*u.um, 3*u.um) >>> # Derivative technique >>> from specutils.fitting import find_lines_derivative >>> lines = find_lines_derivative(spectrum, flux_threshold=0.75) # doctest: +IGNORE_WARNINGS >>> lines[lines['line_type'] == 'emission'] # doctest:+FLOAT_CMP line_center line_type line_center_index um float64 str10 int64 ----------------- --------- ----------------- 4.522613065326634 emission 90 5.477386934673367 emission 109 >>> lines[lines['line_type'] == 'absorption'] # doctest:+FLOAT_CMP line_center line_type line_center_index um float64 str10 int64 ----------------- ---------- ----------------- 8.190954773869347 absorption 163 While it might be surprising that these tables do not contain more information about the lines, this is because the "toolbox" philosophy of ``specutils`` aims to keep such functionality in separate distinct functions. See :doc:`analysis` for functions that can be used to fill out common line measurements more completely. Parameter Estimation -------------------- Given a spectrum with a set of lines, the `~specutils.fitting.estimate_line_parameters` can be called to estimate the `~astropy.modeling.Model` parameters given a spectrum. For the `~astropy.modeling.functional_models.Gaussian1D`, `~astropy.modeling.functional_models.Voigt1D`, and `~astropy.modeling.functional_models.Lorentz1D` models, there are predefined estimators for each of the parameters. For all other models one must define the estimators (see example below). Note that in many (most?) cases where another model is needed, it may be better to create your own template models tailored to your specific spectra and skip this function entirely. For example, based on the spectrum defined above we can first select a region: .. code-block:: python >>> from specutils import SpectralRegion >>> from specutils.fitting import estimate_line_parameters >>> from specutils.manipulation import extract_region >>> sub_region = SpectralRegion(4*u.um, 5*u.um) >>> sub_spectrum = extract_region(spectrum, sub_region) Then estimate the line parameters it it for a Gaussian line profile:: >>> print(estimate_line_parameters(sub_spectrum, models.Gaussian1D())) # doctest: +FLOAT_CMP Model: Gaussian1D Inputs: ('x',) Outputs: ('y',) Model set size: 1 Parameters: amplitude mean stddev Jy um um ------------------ ---------------- ------------------- 1.1845669151078486 4.57517271067525 0.19373372929165977 If an `~astropy.modeling.Model` is used that does not have the predefined parameter estimators, or if one wants to use different parameter estimators then one can create a dictionary where the key is the parameter name and the value is a function that operates on a spectrum (lambda functions are very useful for this purpose). For example if one wants to estimate the line parameters of a line fit for a `~astropy.modeling.functional_models.RickerWavelet1D` one can define the ``estimators`` dictionary and use it to populate the ``estimator`` attribute of the model's parameters: .. code-block:: python >>> from specutils import SpectralRegion >>> from specutils.fitting import estimate_line_parameters >>> from specutils.manipulation import extract_region >>> from specutils.analysis import centroid, fwhm >>> sub_region = SpectralRegion(4*u.um, 5*u.um) >>> sub_spectrum = extract_region(spectrum, sub_region) >>> ricker = models.RickerWavelet1D() >>> ricker.amplitude.estimator = lambda s: max(s.flux) >>> ricker.x_0.estimator = lambda *args: centroid(args[0], region=None) >>> ricker.sigma.estimator = lambda *args: fwhm(args[0]) >>> estimate_line_parameters(spectrum, ricker) # doctest: +FLOAT_CMP +IGNORE_WARNINGS Model (Line) Fitting -------------------- The generic model fitting machinery is well-suited to fitting spectral lines. The first step is to create a set of models with initial guesses as the parameters. To achieve better fits it may be wise to include a set of bounds for each parameter, but that is optional. .. note:: A method to make plausible initial guesses will be provided in a future version, but user defined initial guesses are required at present. The `~specutils.fitting.fit_lines` function takes as input the spectrum to be fit and the set of models with initial guesses, and by default uses the `~astropy.modeling.fitting.LevMarLSQFitter` to perform the fit. You may override this by providing a different fitter to the ``fitter`` input parameter. Note that the default fitter will populate the ``stds`` attribute of the returned models with estimates of the standard deviation uncertainty in the fit parameters, and that this may not be populated for user-defined non-default fitters. In general, you can set ``calc_uncertainties=True`` when initializing an Astropy fitter to return this information. You can also retrieve the covariance matrices and other fit information from which the uncertainties are calculated by setting ``get_fit_info=True`` in the the call to `~specutils.fitting.fit_lines`. This will populate ``fit_info`` in the ``meta`` dictionary attached to the returned fitted model. Below are a series of examples of this sort of fitting. Simple Example ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Below is a simple example to demonstrate how to use the `~specutils.fitting.fit_lines` method to fit a spectrum to an Astropy model initial guess. .. plot:: :include-source: :align: center import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from astropy.modeling import models from astropy import units as u from specutils.spectra import Spectrum1D from specutils.fitting import fit_lines # Create a simple spectrum with a Gaussian. np.random.seed(0) x = np.linspace(0., 10., 200) y = 3 * np.exp(-0.5 * (x- 6.3)**2 / 0.8**2) y += np.random.normal(0., 0.2, x.shape) spectrum = Spectrum1D(flux=y*u.Jy, spectral_axis=x*u.um) # Fit the spectrum and calculate the fitted flux values (``y_fit``) g_init = models.Gaussian1D(amplitude=3.*u.Jy, mean=6.1*u.um, stddev=1.*u.um) g_fit = fit_lines(spectrum, g_init) y_fit = g_fit(x*u.um) # Plot the original spectrum and the fitted. plt.plot(x, y, label="Original spectrum") plt.plot(x, y_fit, label="Fit result") plt.title('Single fit peak') plt.grid(True) plt.legend() Simple Example with Different Units ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Similar fit example to above, but the Gaussian model initial guess has different units.
