Illustration of Gaussian process classification (GPC) on the XOR dataset

This example illustrates GPC on XOR data. Compared are a stationary, isotropic kernel (RBF) and a non-stationary kernel (DotProduct). On this particular dataset, the DotProduct kernel obtains considerably better results because the class-boundaries are linear and coincide with the coordinate axes. In general, stationary kernels often obtain better results.

302**2 * RBF(length_scale=1.55)  Log-Marginal-Likelihood:-24.237, 316**2 * DotProduct(sigma_0=0.0104) ** 2  Log-Marginal-Likelihood:-9.284
/home/circleci/project/sklearn/gaussian_process/kernels.py:429: ConvergenceWarning:

The optimal value found for dimension 0 of parameter k1__constant_value is close to the specified upper bound 100000.0. Increasing the bound and calling fit again may find a better value.
