__call__(x: Float[Array, ' D'], y: Float[Array, ' D']) -> ScalarFloat

Compute the polynomial kernel of degree $d$ between a pair of arrays.

For a pair of inputs $x, y \in \mathbb{R}^{D}$, let's evaluate the polynomial kernel $k(x, y)=\left( \alpha + \sigma^2 x y\right)^{d}$ where $\sigma^\in \mathbb{R}_{>0}$ is the kernel's variance parameter, shift parameter $\alpha$ and integer degree $d$.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
x	Float[Array, ' D']	The left hand argument of the kernel function's call.	required
y	Float[Array, ' D']	The right hand argument of the kernel function's call	required

Returns

ScalarFloat: The value of $k(x, y)$.
