setparams
Setparams is a generic term used in software and systems to describe a function, method, or command that assigns values to parameters of a program, component, or model. It is used across languages and domains to update configuration at initialization or runtime. In many object-oriented libraries, a method named set_params (or setParams) accepts a dictionary or map of parameter names to values and applies them to the corresponding properties of an object. Some libraries also provide dedicated setters for individual parameters, while others support bulk updates.
Common behavior includes validation of keys and values, type checking, and enforcement of constraints such as
In machine learning, setparams is often used for hyperparameter management, enabling experiments by adjusting options like
Variations in naming include set_parameters, set_params, and setParams, reflecting different language and framework conventions. Design considerations
