sklearn.gaussian_process.kernels.PairwiseKernel

class sklearn.gaussian_process.kernels.PairwiseKernel(gamma=1.0, gamma_bounds=(1e-05, 100000.0), metric=’linear’, pairwise_kernels_kwargs=None) [source]

Wrapper for kernels in sklearn.metrics.pairwise.

A thin wrapper around the functionality of the kernels in sklearn.metrics.pairwise.

Note: Evaluation of eval_gradient is not analytic but numeric and all

kernels support only isotropic distances. The parameter gamma is considered to be a hyperparameter and may be optimized. The other kernel parameters are set directly at initialization and are kept fixed.

New in version 0.18.

Parameters:

gamma: float >= 0, default: 1.0 : Parameter gamma of the pairwise kernel specified by metric gamma_bounds : pair of floats >= 0, default: (1e-5, 1e5) The lower and upper bound on gamma metric : string, or callable, default: “linear” The metric to use when calculating kernel between instances in a feature array. If metric is a string, it must be one of the metrics in pairwise.PAIRWISE_KERNEL_FUNCTIONS. If metric is “precomputed”, X is assumed to be a kernel matrix. Alternatively, if metric is a callable function, it is called on each pair of instances (rows) and the resulting value recorded. The callable should take two arrays from X as input and return a value indicating the distance between them. pairwise_kernels_kwargs : dict, default: None All entries of this dict (if any) are passed as keyword arguments to the pairwise kernel function.

Methods

clone_with_theta(theta)	Returns a clone of self with given hyperparameters theta.
diag(X)	Returns the diagonal of the kernel k(X, X).
get_params([deep])	Get parameters of this kernel.
is_stationary()	Returns whether the kernel is stationary.
set_params(**params)	Set the parameters of this kernel.

__init__(gamma=1.0, gamma_bounds=(1e-05, 100000.0), metric=’linear’, pairwise_kernels_kwargs=None) [source]

__call__(X, Y=None, eval_gradient=False) [source]

Return the kernel k(X, Y) and optionally its gradient.

Parameters:

X : array, shape (n_samples_X, n_features) Left argument of the returned kernel k(X, Y) Y : array, shape (n_samples_Y, n_features), (optional, default=None) Right argument of the returned kernel k(X, Y). If None, k(X, X) if evaluated instead. eval_gradient : bool (optional, default=False) Determines whether the gradient with respect to the kernel hyperparameter is determined. Only supported when Y is None.

Returns:

K : array, shape (n_samples_X, n_samples_Y) Kernel k(X, Y) K_gradient : array (opt.), shape (n_samples_X, n_samples_X, n_dims) The gradient of the kernel k(X, X) with respect to the hyperparameter of the kernel. Only returned when eval_gradient is True.

bounds

Returns the log-transformed bounds on the theta.

Returns:	bounds : array, shape (n_dims, 2) The log-transformed bounds on the kernel’s hyperparameters theta

clone_with_theta(theta) [source]

Returns a clone of self with given hyperparameters theta.

diag(X) [source]

Returns the diagonal of the kernel k(X, X).

The result of this method is identical to np.diag(self(X)); however, it can be evaluated more efficiently since only the diagonal is evaluated.

Parameters:	X : array, shape (n_samples_X, n_features) Left argument of the returned kernel k(X, Y)
Returns:	K_diag : array, shape (n_samples_X,) Diagonal of kernel k(X, X)

get_params(deep=True) [source]

Get parameters of this kernel.

Parameters:	deep : boolean, optional If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.
Returns:	params : mapping of string to any Parameter names mapped to their values.

hyperparameters

Returns a list of all hyperparameter specifications.

is_stationary() [source]

Returns whether the kernel is stationary.

n_dims

Returns the number of non-fixed hyperparameters of the kernel.

set_params(**params) [source]

Set the parameters of this kernel.

The method works on simple kernels as well as on nested kernels. The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Returns:	self :

theta

Returns the (flattened, log-transformed) non-fixed hyperparameters.

Note that theta are typically the log-transformed values of the kernel’s hyperparameters as this representation of the search space is more amenable for hyperparameter search, as hyperparameters like length-scales naturally live on a log-scale.

Returns:	theta : array, shape (n_dims,) The non-fixed, log-transformed hyperparameters of the kernel
