mvpa2.kernels.np.Matern_5_2Kernel

Inheritance diagram of Matern_5_2Kernel
class mvpa2.kernels.np.Matern_5_2Kernel(**kwargs)

The Matern kernel class for the case ni=5/2.

This kernel is just Matern_3_2Kernel(numerator=5.0).

Attributes

descr Description of the object if any

Methods

add_conversion(typename, methodfull, methodraw) Adds methods to the Kernel class for new conversions
as_ls(kernel)
as_np() Converts this kernel to a Numpy-based representation
as_raw_ls(kernel)
as_raw_np() Directly return this kernel as a numpy array.
as_raw_sg(kernel) Converts directly to a Shogun kernel
as_sg(kernel) Converts this kernel to a Shogun-based representation
cleanup() Wipe out internal representation
compute(ds1[, ds2]) Generic computation of any kernel
computed(\*args, \*\*kwargs) Compute kernel and return self
gradient(data1, data2) Compute gradient of the kernel matrix.
reset()
set_hyperparameters(hyperparameter) Set hyperaparmeters from a vector.

Initialize a Squared Exponential kernel instance.

Parameters:

length_scale : float or numpy.ndarray

the characteristic length-scale (or length-scales) of the phenomenon under investigation. (Defaults to 1.0)

enable_ca : None or list of str

Names of the conditional attributes which should be enabled in addition to the default ones

disable_ca : None or list of str

Names of the conditional attributes which should be disabled

sigma_f : float, optional

Signal standard deviation. (Defaults to 1.0)

numerator : float, optional

the numerator of parameter ni of Matern covariance functions. Currently only numerator=3.0 and numerator=5.0 are implemented. (Defaults to 3.0)
