Synopsis
Set an option for the covariance method.
Syntax
set_covar_opt(name, val)
Description
This is a helper function since the options can also be set directly using the object returned by `get_covar` .
Example
>>> set_covar_opt('sigma', 1.6)PARAMETERS
The parameters for this function are:
| Parameter | Type information | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| name | str | The name of the option to set. The `get_covar` routine can be used to find out valid values for this argument. |
| val | The new value for the option. |
