Class HellingerKernel

java.lang.Object
smile.math.kernel.HellingerKernel
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, ToDoubleBiFunction<double[],double[]>, MercerKernel<double[]>
public class HellingerKernel extends Object implements MercerKernel<double[]>
The Hellinger kernel. The Hellinger distance is used to quantify the similarity between two probability distributions. It is a type of f-divergence. The Hellinger distance H(P, Q) on discrete distributions is equivalent to the Euclidean distance of the square root vectors. The Hellinger kernel is 1 - H2(P, Q), which is equivalent to the dot product of the square root vectors.
