dataset input parameters? #72

Open annayqho opened 7 years ago

annayqho commented 7 years ago

@aceilers -- I was wondering wha the "coeff_old" and "scatter_old" parameters are in the Dataset code. They cause my existing code to break :). Are they temporary or should we find a way to incorporate them? Perhaps we could make them optional parameters (like _coeff_old and _scatter_old)?

Hi Anna,

I changed things again this week, because we found a bug… Basically coeff_old are the coefficients from using the old Cannon version, i.e. the original one. They are input parameters as an initial guess for the optimizer for the new version. Give me another week or so and it hopefully works ;)

Best, Christina
