additive_chi2_kernel
(X, Y=None)[source]¶ Computes the additive chi-squared kernel between observations in X and Y.
The chi-squared kernel is computed between each pair of rows in X and Y. X and Y have to be non-negative. This kernel is most commonly applied to histograms.
The chi-squared kernel is given by:
k(x, y) = -Sum [(x - y)^2 / (x + y)]
It can be interpreted as a weighted difference per entry.

- Parameters
- Xarray-like of shape (n_samples_X, n_features)
- Yndarray of shape (n_samples_Y, n_features), default=None
- Returns
- kernel_matrixndarray of shape (n_samples_X, n_samples_Y)

sklearn.kernel_approximation.AdditiveChi2Sampler
A Fourier approximation to this kernel.
Notes
As the negative of a distance, this kernel is only conditionally positive definite.
