Class KernelMachine<T>

java.lang.Object

smile.base.svm.KernelMachine<T>

smile.regression.KernelMachine<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the data type of model input objects.

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, ToDoubleFunction<T>, Regression<T>

public class KernelMachine<T>
extends KernelMachine<T>
implements Regression<T>

The learning methods building on kernels. Kernel methods owe their name to the use of kernel functions, which enable them to operate in a high-dimensional, implicit feature space without ever computing the coordinates of the data in that space, but rather by simply computing the inner products between the images of all pairs of data in the feature space.

Kernel methods can be thought of as instance-based learners: rather than learning some fixed set of parameters corresponding to the features of their inputs, they instead store (a subset of) their training set (or a new representation) and learn for it a corresponding weight. Prediction for unlabeled inputs is treated by the application of a similarity function.
