sklearn.gaussian_process.kernels.Exponentiation

class sklearn.gaussian_process.kernels.Exponentiation(kernel, exponent) [source]

The Exponentiation kernel takes one base kernel and a scalar parameter \(p\) and combines them via

\[k_{exp}(X, Y) = k(X, Y) ^p\]

Note that the __pow__ magic method is overridden, so Exponentiation(RBF(), 2) is equivalent to using the ** operator with RBF() ** 2.

New in version 0.18.

Examples

Methods

__call__(X[, Y, eval_gradient])	Return the kernel k(X, Y) and optionally its gradient.
clone_with_theta(theta)	Returns a clone of self with given hyperparameters theta.
diag(X)	Returns the diagonal of the kernel k(X, X).
get_params([deep])	Get parameters of this kernel.
is_stationary()	Returns whether the kernel is stationary.
set_params(**params)	Set the parameters of this kernel.

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

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

Parameters

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

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

Yarray-like of shape (n_samples_Y, 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)

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 log of the hyperparameter of the kernel. Only returned when eval_gradient is 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

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,)

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.

is_stationary() [source]

Returns whether the kernel is stationary.

property n_dims

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

property requires_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

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
