Table 3 List of kernel functions and their mathematical expressions

From: PredCRG: A computational method for recognition of plant circadian genes by employing support vector machine with Laplace kernel

Kernel type

Kernel function \(\left\{{\varvec{K}}\left({{\varvec{x}}}_{{\varvec{i}}}{,{\varvec{x}}}_{{\varvec{j}}}\right)\right\}\)

Radial basis function (RBF)

\(exp(-\gamma {\| {x}_{i}-{x}_{j}\| }^{2})\)

Polynomial

\((\gamma <{x}_{i}{,x}_{j}{>+r)}^{d}\)

Linear

\(<{x}_{i}{,x}_{j}>\)

Hyperbolic

\(tanh(\gamma <{x}_{i}{,x}_{j}>+r)\)

Laplace

\(exp(-\gamma \| {x}_{i}-{x}_{\mathrm{j}}\| )\)

Bessel

\(-{Bessel}_{order}^{d}\gamma {\| {x}_{i}-{x}_{\mathrm{j}}\| }^{2}\)

Sigmoid

\({(<{x}_{i}{,x}_{j}>+r)}^{d}\)

  1. \(\gamma\), \(d,\) \(r\) and \(order\) are kernel parameters and <  > denotes the inner product
