API Reference

A tutorial-like demo is available at Usage.

Roughly, this library consists of following set of classes and methods:

• diverse library of Kernel functions,

• KernelMatrix documented in KernelMatrix class,

• container classes KernelSet and KernelBucket described in Collections of kernel matrices,

• a library of Kernel Operations,

• a set of related Utilities and

• custom exceptions (listed below) to improve user experience and testability.

Exceptions

class kernelmethods.KernelMethodsException

Bases: Exception

Generic exception to indicate invalid use of the kernelmethods library.

Allows to distinguish improper use of KernelMatrix from other code exceptions

class kernelmethods.KMAccessError

Bases: kernelmethods.config.KernelMethodsException

Exception to indicate invalid access to the kernel matrix elements!

class kernelmethods.KMNormError

Bases: kernelmethods.config.KernelMethodsException

Custom exception to indicate error during normalization of kernel matrix

class kernelmethods.KMSetAdditionError

Bases: kernelmethods.config.KernelMethodsException

Exception to indicate invalid addition of kernel matrix to a KernelSet
