__call__(X, Y=None, eval_gradient=False)[source]

Return the kernel k(X, Y) and optionally its gradient.

Note that this compound kernel returns the results of all simple kernel stacked along an additional axis.

Parameters:

Xarray-like of shape (n_samples_X, n_features) or list of object, default=None

Left argument of the returned kernel k(X, Y)

Yarray-like of shape (n_samples_X, n_features) or list of object, default=None

Right argument of the returned kernel k(X, Y). If None, k(X, X) is evaluated instead.

eval_gradientbool, default=False

Determines whether the gradient with respect to the log of the kernel hyperparameter is computed.

Returns:

Kndarray of shape (n_samples_X, n_samples_Y, n_kernels)

Kernel k(X, Y)

K_gradientndarray of shape (n_samples_X, n_samples_X, n_dims, n_kernels), optional

The gradient of the kernel k(X, X) with respect to the log of the hyperparameter of the kernel. Only returned when eval_gradient is True.

propertybounds

Returns the log-transformed bounds on the theta.

Returns:

boundsarray 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:

Xarray-like of shape (n_samples_X, n_features) or list of object

Argument to the kernel.

Returns:

K_diagndarray of shape (n_samples_X, n_kernels)

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.

propertyhyperparameters

Returns a list of all hyperparameter specifications.

is_stationary()[source]

Returns whether the kernel is stationary.

propertyn_dims

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

propertyrequires_vector_input

Returns whether the kernel is defined on discrete structures.

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

propertytheta

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
