[SciPy-User] is it possible to constrain the scipy.optimize.curve_fit function?

[David Baddeley]

The quick and dirty way is to do a variable substitution with the square of your parameter and fit, e.g. r + (a**2)*np.power(x, -b**2)
You can take the sqrt of the parameters later.

Subject: [SciPy-User] is it possible to constrain the scipy.optimize.curve_fit function?
 

Dear scipy users,
 
I'm trying to fit to data a power law of the form :
 
 
def func (x, a,b, r): 
      return r + a*np.power(x,-b) 
 
I would like to constrain the curve_fit routine to only allow positive parameter values. How is it possible to do so?
 
Kind regards,
Mathieu
