sklearn.gaussian_process.kernels.DotProduct

class sklearn.gaussian_process.kernels.DotProduct(sigma_0=1.0, sigma_0_bounds=(1e-05, 100000.0))

Dot-Product kernel.

The DotProduct kernel is non-stationary and can be obtained from linear regression by putting N(0, 1) priors on the coefficients of x_d (d = 1, . . . , D) and a prior of N(0, sigma_0^2) on the bias. The DotProduct kernel is invariant to a rotation of the coordinates about the origin, but not translations. It is parameterized by a parameter sigma_0^2. For sigma_0^2 =0, the kernel is called the homogeneous linear kernel, otherwise it is inhomogeneous. The kernel is given by

k(x_i, x_j) = sigma_0 ^ 2 + x_i cdot x_j

The DotProduct kernel is commonly combined with exponentiation.

New in version 0.18.

Parameters:

sigma_0 : float >= 0, default: 1.0

Parameter controlling the inhomogenity of the kernel. If sigma_0=0, the kernel is homogenous.

sigma_0_bounds : pair of floats >= 0, default: (1e-5, 1e5)

The lower and upper bound on l

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).

__init__(sigma_0=1.0, sigma_0_bounds=(1e-05, 100000.0))

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)

Returns a clone of self with given hyperparameters theta.

diag(X)

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)

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()

Returns whether the kernel is stationary.

n_dims

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

set_params(**params)

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
