spectrochempy.analysis.constraints.NonNegative

class NonNegative(profile, components=None)[source]

Non-negativity constraint.

States that the selected components of a profile must remain non-negative. This is the most common MCR-ALS constraint for both concentrations (positive absorptivities / amounts) and spectra (positive absorptivities).

Parameters:

profile (str) – "C" (concentrations) or "St" (spectra).
components (list[int], optional) – Component indices to which the constraint applies. None (default) means “all components”.

Examples

>>> from spectrochempy import NonNegative
>>> NonNegative("C")
NonNegative(profile='C', components=None)
>>> NonNegative("St", components=[0, 2])
NonNegative(profile='St', components=[0, 2])

Attributes Summary

`components`	Component selection (`None` means "all").
`name`	Short human-readable name of the constraint family.
`profile`	Canonical profile identifier (`"C"` or `"St"`).
