Parameters and parameter sets.

Parameter defines an individual parameter, and ParameterSet groups them
into a hierarchy.

Individual models need to provide a parameter set with the correct
properties, either by using park.ParameterSet in their model definition,
or by providing a wrapper which can translate assignment to parameter.value
into the appropriate change in the wrapped model.  See wrapper.py for
an example.

    A parameter is a box for communicating with the fitting service.
    Parameters can have a number of properties, 
    
    Parameters have a number of properties:
    
    name "string"
        name of the parameter within the parameter set.  
        
        The name is read only.  You can rename a parameter but only 
        in the context of the parameter set which contains it, using
        parameterset.rename(par,name).  This will change all expressions
        containing the named parameter.
    
    path
        dotted name of the parameter within the set of models.  The
        dotted name is automatically generated by the parameter set
        before expressions are parsed and evaluated.  There are
        some operations on parameter sets (such as renaming the
        layer containing a parameter) which will force an adjustment
        of all the underlying parameter names, as well as any
        expressions in which they are referenced.
    
    limits (low, high)
        hard limits on the range of allowed parameter values, dictated
        by physics rather than by knowledge of the particular system.
        For example, thickness parameters would have limits (0,inf)
        because negative thicknesses are unphysical.  These limits
        are enforced when setting range for the fit.

    units "string"
        units for the parameter.  This should be a string, but
        be parsable by whatever units package your application
        supports.

    tip "string"
        parameter description, suitable for use in a tooltip
    
    value double
        current value of the parameter, either fixed, fitted or computed
    
    range (low, high)
        range of expected values for the parameter in the model
    
    expression "string"
        expression for the parameter in the model.  This is a string
        containing a formula for updating the parameter value based
        on the values of other parameters in the system.  The expression
        is ignored if 'calculated' is False.

        Note: the list of symbols available to the expression evaluator
        defaults to the contents of the math module.  The caller will be
        able to override this within the fitting fitting class.
    
    status 'fixed'|'computed'|'fitted'
        the parameter type.  Choose 'fixed' if the values is to
        remain fixed throughout the fit, even if a range and an
        expression have been specified.  Choose 'computed' if the
        value of the parameter is to be computed each time the
        parameters are updated.  Choose 'fitted' if an optimization
        algorithm is supposed to search the parameter space.

    likelihood
        function to return the negative log likelihood of seeing a
        particular parameter value.  2*likelihood(value) will be added
        to the total cost function for the particular parameter set
        during the fit.  This will be on par with the probabilty
        of seeing the particular theory function given the observed
        datapoints when performing the fit (the residual term is
        closely related to the log likelihood of the normal distribution).
        
        Note: we are minimizing chi^2 = sum [ ((y-f(x;p))/dy)^2 ] rather 
        than  -log P = sum [ ((y-f(x;p))/dy)^2/2 + log(2 pi dy^2) ],
        where P is the probability of seeing f(x;p) given y,dy as the
        mean and standard deviation of a normal distribution.  Because
        chi^2_p = - 2 * log P_p + constant, the minima of p are the same
        for chi^2 and negative log likelihood.  However, to weight the
        likelihood properly when adding likelihood values to chisq, we
        need the extra factor of 2 mentioned above.  The usual statistical
        implications of normalized chi^2 will of course be suspect, both
        because the assumption of independence between the points in
        chi^2 (which definitely do not hold for the new 'point' p_k), and
        because of the additional 2 log(2 pi dp_k^2) constant, but given
        the uncertainty in the estimate of the distribution parameters,
        this is likely a minor point.
