Python : How to avoid numpy RuntimeWarning in function definition?
numpy, python
Solution
Use `numpy.seterr` to control what numpy does in this circumstance: http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.seterr.html
Use the warnings module to control how warnings are or are not presented: http://docs.python.org/library/warnings.html
Problem
i designed a simple function to return a mathematical function which can be used to fit experimental data to it. The functions looks pretty much like the following: ``` def colecole_2(f,*p): term1=p[0] * ( 1 - 1 / (1 + numpy.power((0+1j) * 2 * numpy.pi * f * p[1], p[2]))) term2=p[3] * ( 1 - 1 / (1 + numpy.power((0+1j) * 2 * numpy.pi * f * p[4], p[5]))) return p[6]*(1-abs( term1+ term2)) ``` Unfortunately I run into troubles with RunTimeWarnings as: ``` RuntimeWarning: overflow encountered in power RuntimeWarning: overflow encountered in divide ``` due to values that are too large or small. I am not able to figure this problem out on my own though. Is there any way to redefine my function so it will pass without warnings?
