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
 - gammafloat, default=1.0
 Parameter gamma of the pairwise kernel specified by metric. It should be positive.
- gamma_boundspair of floats >= 0 or “fixed”, default=(1e-5, 1e5)
 The lower and upper bound on ‘gamma’. If set to “fixed”, ‘gamma’ cannot be changed during hyperparameter tuning.
- metric{“linear”, “additive_chi2”, “chi2”, “poly”, “polynomial”, “rbf”, “laplacian”, “sigmoid”, “cosine”} 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_kwargsdict, default=None
 All entries of this dict (if any) are passed as keyword arguments to the pairwise kernel function.
- Attributes
 boundsReturns the log-transformed bounds on the theta.

__init__(gamma=1.0, gamma_bounds=(1e-05, 100000.0), metric='linear', pairwise_kernels_kwargs=None)[source]¶ Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.
- 
__call__(X, Y=None, eval_gradient=False)[source]¶ Return the kernel k(X, Y) and optionally its gradient.
- Parameters
 - Xndarray of shape (n_samples_X, n_features)
 Left argument of the returned kernel k(X, Y)
- Yndarray of shape (n_samples_Y, n_features), default=None
 Right argument of the returned kernel k(X, Y). If None, k(X, X) if evaluated instead.
- eval_gradientbool, default=False
 Determines whether the gradient with respect to the kernel hyperparameter is determined. Only supported when Y is None.
- Returns
 - Kndarray of shape (n_samples_X, n_samples_Y)
 Kernel k(X, Y)
- K_gradientndarray of shape (n_samples_X, n_samples_X, n_dims), optional
 The gradient of the kernel k(X, X) with respect to the hyperparameter of the kernel. Only returned when
eval_gradientis True.
- 
property 
bounds¶ Returns the log-transformed bounds on the theta.
- Returns
 - boundsndarray of 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.
- Parameters
 - thetandarray of shape (n_dims,)
 The hyperparameters
- 
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
 - Xndarray of shape (n_samples_X, n_features)
 Left argument of the returned kernel k(X, Y)
- Returns
 - K_diagndarray of shape (n_samples_X,)
 Diagonal of kernel k(X, X)
- 
get_params(deep=True)[source]¶ Get parameters of this kernel.
- Parameters
 - deepbool, default=True
 If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.
- Returns
 - paramsdict
 Parameter names mapped to their values.
- 
property 
hyperparameters¶ Returns a list of all hyperparameter specifications.
- 
property 
n_dims¶ Returns the number of non-fixed hyperparameters of the kernel.
- 
property 
requires_vector_input¶ Returns whether the kernel is defined on fixed-length feature vectors or generic objects. Defaults to True for backward compatibility.
- 
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
 
- 
property 
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
 - thetandarray of shape (n_dims,)
 The non-fixed, log-transformed hyperparameters of the kernel
