multi_compute_kern

hyppo.tools.multi_compute_kern(*args, metric='gaussian', workers=1, **kwargs)

Kernel similarity matrices for the input matrices.

Parameters
  • *args (ndarray of float) -- Variable length input data matrices. All inputs must have the same number of samples. That is, the shapes must be (n, p), (n, q), etc., where n is the number of samples and p and q are the number of dimensions.

  • metric (str, callable, or None, default "gaussian") -- A function that computes the kernel similarity among the samples within each data matrix. Valid strings for metric are, as defined in sklearn.metrics.pairwise.pairwise_kernels,

    ["additive_chi2", "chi2", "linear", "poly", "polynomial", "rbf", "laplacian", "sigmoid", "cosine"]

    Note "rbf" and "gaussian" are the same metric. Set to None or "precomputed" if x and y are already similarity matrices. To call a custom function, either create the similarity matrix before-hand or create a function of the form metric(x, **kwargs) where x is the data matrix for which pairwise kernel similarity matrices are calculated and kwargs are extra arguements to send to your custom function.

  • workers (int, default 1) -- The number of cores to parallelize the p-value computation over. Supply -1 to use all cores available to the Process.

  • **kwargs -- Arbitrary keyword arguments provided to sklearn.metrics.pairwise.pairwise_kernels or a custom kernel function.

Returns

sim_matrices (ndarray of float) -- Similarity matrices based on the metric provided by the user. Must be same shape as ''args''.
