RBF

Radial basis function kernel (aka squared-exponential kernel).

The RBF kernel is a stationary kernel. It is also known as the “squared exponential” kernel. It is parameterized by a length scale parameter \(l>0\), which can either be a scalar (isotropic variant of the kernel) or a vector with the same number of dimensions as the inputs X (anisotropic variant of the kernel). The kernel is given by:

Constructors

constructor()

Signature

new RBF(opts?: object): RBF;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
opts?object-
opts.length_scale?number | ArrayLikeThe length scale of the kernel. If a float, an isotropic kernel is used. If an array, an anisotropic kernel is used where each dimension of l defines the length-scale of the respective feature dimension. Default Value 1
opts.length_scale_bounds?"fixed"The lower and upper bound on ‘length_scale’. If set to “fixed”, ‘length_scale’ cannot be changed during hyperparameter tuning.

Parameters

Methods

__call__()

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

Signature

__call__(opts: object): Promise<ArrayLike[]>;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
optsobject-
opts.X?ArrayLike[]Left argument of the returned kernel k(X, Y)
opts.Y?ArrayLike[]Right argument of the returned kernel k(X, Y). If undefined, k(X, X) if evaluated instead.
opts.eval_gradient?booleanDetermines whether the gradient with respect to the log of the kernel hyperparameter is computed. Only supported when Y is undefined. Default Value false

Returns

Promise<ArrayLike[]>

Defined in: generated/gaussian_process/kernels/RBF.ts:113 (opens in a new tab)

clone_with_theta()

Returns a clone of self with given hyperparameters theta.

Signature

clone_with_theta(opts: object): Promise<any>;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
optsobject-
opts.theta?ArrayLikeThe hyperparameters

Returns

Promise<any>

Defined in: generated/gaussian_process/kernels/RBF.ts:162 (opens in a new tab)

diag()

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.

Signature

diag(opts: object): Promise<ArrayLike>;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
optsobject-
opts.X?ArrayLike[]Left argument of the returned kernel k(X, Y)

Returns

Promise<ArrayLike>

dispose()

Disposes of the underlying Python resources.

Once dispose() is called, the instance is no longer usable.

Signature

dispose(): Promise<void>;

Returns

Promise<void>

Defined in: generated/gaussian_process/kernels/RBF.ts:96 (opens in a new tab)

init()

Initializes the underlying Python resources.

This instance is not usable until the Promise returned by init() resolves.

Signature

init(py: PythonBridge): Promise<void>;

Parameters

NameType
pyPythonBridge

Returns

Promise<void>

Defined in: generated/gaussian_process/kernels/RBF.ts:53 (opens in a new tab)

is_stationary()

Returns whether the kernel is stationary.

Signature

is_stationary(opts: object): Promise<any>;

Parameters

NameType
optsobject

Returns

Promise<any>
