weka.classifiers.functions.supportVector.RBFKernel

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, CapabilitiesHandler, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler

Direct Known Subclasses:

MIRBFKernel

public class RBFKernel
extends CachedKernel

The RBF kernel. K(x, y) = e^-(gamma * <x-y, x-y>^2)

Valid options are:

 -D
  Enables debugging output (if available) to be printed.
  (default: off)

 -no-checks
  Turns off all checks - use with caution!
  (default: checks on)

 -C <num>
  The size of the cache (a prime number), 0 for full cache and 
  -1 to turn it off.
  (default: 250007)

 -G <num>
  The Gamma parameter.
  (default: 0.01)
