gaussian_process.kernels.ConstantKernel()

class sklearn.gaussian_process.kernels.ConstantKernel(constant_value=1.0, constant_value_bounds=(1e-05, 100000.0)) [source]

Constant kernel.

Can be used as part of a product-kernel where it scales the magnitude of the other factor (kernel) or as part of a sum-kernel, where it modifies the mean of the Gaussian process.

k(x_1, x_2) = constant_value for all x_1, x_2

New in version 0.18.

Parameters:

Parameters:	constant_value : float, default: 1.0 The constant value which defines the covariance: k(x_1, x_2) = constant_value constant_value_bounds : pair of floats >= 0, default: (1e-5, 1e5) The lower and upper bound on constant_value

constant_value : float, default: 1.0

The constant value which defines the covariance: k(x_1, x_2) = constant_value

constant_value_bounds : pair of floats >= 0, default: (1e-5, 1e5)

The lower and upper bound on constant_value

bounds

Returns the log-transformed bounds on the theta.

Returns:

Returns:	bounds : array, shape (n_dims, 2) The log-transformed bounds on the kernel?s hyperparameters theta

bounds : array, 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.

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:

Parameters:	X : array, shape (n_samples_X, n_features) Left argument of the returned kernel k(X, Y)
Returns:	K_diag : array, shape (n_samples_X,) Diagonal of kernel k(X, X)

X : array, shape (n_samples_X, n_features)

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

Returns:

K_diag : array, shape (n_samples_X,)

Diagonal of kernel k(X, X)

get_params(deep=True) [source]

Get parameters of this kernel.

Parameters:

Parameters:	deep: boolean, optional : If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.
Returns:	params : mapping of string to any Parameter names mapped to their values.

deep: boolean, optional :

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns:

params : mapping of string to any

Parameter names mapped to their values.

hyperparameters: Returns a list of all hyperparameter specifications.

is_stationary() [source]: Returns whether the kernel is stationary.

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

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 :

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:
