Exponential#

class Exponential(cutoff=0.999, **kwargs)[source]#

Exponential response function with 2 parameters: A and a.

Parameters

up (bool or None, optional) – indicates whether a positive stress will cause the head to go up (True, default) or down (False), if None the head can go both ways.
gain_scale_factor (float, optional) – the scale factor is used to set the initial value and the bounds of the gain parameter, computed as 1 / gain_scale_factor.
cutoff (float, optional) – proportion after which the step function is cut off.

Notes

The impulse response function for this class can be viewed on the Documentation website or using latexify by running the following code in a Jupyter notebook environment:

ps.Exponential.impulse

Methods#

`__init__`
`block`	Method to return the block function.
`gain`
`get_init_parameters`	Get initial parameters and bounds.
`get_t`	Internal method to determine the times at which to evaluate the step response, from t=0.
`get_tmax`	Method to get the response time for a certain cutoff.
`step`	Method to return the step function.
`to_dict`	Method to export the response function to a dictionary.
`update_rfunc_settings`	Internal method to set the settings of the response function.
