### Get Parameters in a Specific Parametrization

Source: https://pylevy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/levy.html

Instantiate a `Parameters` object and use the `get` method to retrieve the parameters in a desired parametrization. This is useful for converting parameters from within an existing `Parameters` object.

```python
>>> p = Parameters(par='1', alpha=1.5, beta=0.5, mu=0, sigma=1.2)  # to convert
>>> p.get('B')  # returns the parameters in the parametrization B
array([1.5       , 0.59033447, 0.03896531, 1.46969385])
```

### Parameters Class and Conversion Utility

Source: https://pylevy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/levy.html

Documentation for the Parameters class and its static method 'convert' for transforming Levy stable distribution parameters between different parametrizations.

```APIDOC
## Class Parameters

This class is a wrapper for the parameters of the Levy stable distribution. It facilitates fitting by allowing optimization on specific parameters. The primary utility function is `convert`, which transforms parameters between different available parametrizations.

### Class Method: convert

Use to convert a parameter array from one parametrization to another.

#### Parameters
- **pars** (ndarray) - Required - Array of parameters to be converted.
- **par_in** (str) - Required - Parametrization of the input array (e.g., '0', '1', 'A', 'B', 'M').
- **par_out** (str) - Required - Parametrization of the output array (e.g., '0', '1', 'A', 'B', 'M').

#### Returns
- **ndarray** - Array of parameters in the desired parametrization.

#### Examples
```python
import numpy as np
from pylevy import Parameters

a = np.array([1.6, 0.5, 0.3, 1.2])
b = Parameters.convert(a, '1', 'B')
print(b)
# Expected output: array([1.6       , 0.55457302, 0.2460079 , 1.4243171 ])

c = Parameters.convert(b, 'B', '1')
print(c)
# Expected output: array([1.6, 0.5, 0.3, 1.2])
np.testing.assert_allclose(a, c)
```

### Method: get

Same as `convert` but used from within a `Parameters` object instance.

#### Parameters
- **par_out** (str) - Optional - The desired output parametrization (e.g., '0', '1', 'A', 'B', 'M'). If None, returns parameters in the object's current parametrization.

#### Returns
- **ndarray** - Array of parameters in the specified or object's current parametrization.

#### Examples
```python
from pylevy import Parameters

p = Parameters(par='1', alpha=1.5, beta=0.5, mu=0, sigma=1.2)  # to convert
print(p.get('B'))
# Expected output: array([1.5       , 0.59033447, 0.03896531, 1.46969385])
```
```

### Convert Parameters Between Parametrizations

Source: https://pylevy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/levy.html

Use the `convert` class method to transform parameter arrays from one Levy stable distribution parametrization to another. Supported input and output parametrizations include '0', '1', 'A', 'B', and 'M'.

```python
>>> a = np.array([1.6, 0.5, 0.3, 1.2])
>>> b = Parameters.convert(a, '1', 'B')
>>> b
array([1.6       , 0.55457302, 0.2460079 , 1.4243171 ])
>>> c = Parameters.convert(b, 'B', '1')
>>> c
array([1.6, 0.5, 0.3, 1.2])
>>> np.testing.assert_allclose(a, c)
```
