mvpa2.kernels.sg.LinearSGKernel

class mvpa2.kernels.sg.LinearSGKernel(normalizer_cls=None, normalizer_args=None, **kwargs)

A basic linear kernel computed via Shogun: K(a,b) = a*b.T

Parameters :

normalizer_cls : sg.Kernel.CKernelNormalizer

Class to use as a normalizer for the kernel. Will be instantiated upon compute(). Only supported for shogun >= 0.6.5. By default (if left None) assigns IdentityKernelNormalizer to assure no normalization.

normalizer_args : None or list

If necessary, provide a list of arguments for the normalizer.
