sklearn.metrics.pairwise.rbf_kernel

sklearn.metrics.pairwise.rbf_kernel(X, Y=None, gamma=None)[source]

Compute the rbf (gaussian) kernel between X and Y:

K(x, y) = exp(-gamma ||x-y||^2)

for each pair of rows x in X and y in Y.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters
Xndarray of shape (n_samples_X, n_features)
Yndarray of shape (n_samples_Y, n_features), default=None

If None, uses Y=X.

gammafloat, default=None

If None, defaults to 1.0 / n_features.

Returns
kernel_matrixndarray of shape (n_samples_X, n_samples_Y)
