numpy.polynomial.legendre.Legendre

class numpy.polynomial.legendre.Legendre(coef, domain=[-1, 1], window=[-1, 1])[source]

A Legendre series class.

Legendre instances provide the standard Python numerical methods ‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘*’, ‘//’, ‘%’, ‘divmod’, ‘**’, and ‘()’ as well as the listed methods.

Parameters :

coef : array_like

Legendre coefficients, in increasing order. For example, (1, 2, 3) implies P_0 + 2P_1 + 3P_2 where the P_i are a graded polynomial basis.

domain : (2,) array_like, optional

Domain to use. The interval [domain[0], domain[1]] is mapped to the interval [window[0], window[1]] by shifting and scaling. The default value is [-1,1].

window : (2,) array_like, optional

Window, see domain for its use. The default value is [-1,1]. .. versionadded:: 1.6.0

Notes

It is important to specify the domain in many cases, for instance in fitting data, because many of the important properties of the polynomial basis only hold in a specified interval and consequently the data must be mapped into that interval in order to benefit.

Attributes

coef ((N,) ndarray) Legendre coefficients, from low to high.
domain ((2,) ndarray) Domain that is mapped to window.
window ((2,) ndarray) Window that domain is mapped to.
