Class PolyKernel

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, CapabilitiesHandler, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler
Direct Known Subclasses:
NormalizedPolyKernel

public class PolyKernel extends CachedKernel
The polynomial kernel : K(x, y) = <x, y>^p or K(x, y) = (<x, y>+1)^p

Valid options are:

 -D
  Enables debugging output (if available) to be printed.
  (default: off)
 
 -C <num>
  The size of the cache (a prime number), 0 for full cache and 
  -1 to turn it off.
  (default: 250007)
 
 -E <num>
  The Exponent to use.
  (default: 1.0)
 
 -L
  Use lower-order terms.
  (default: no)
