Public fields

kernel_variance

The variance of the kernel

jitter_value

The jitter value to add to the kernel matrix

distance_matrix

The distance matrix between points in a tensor format

name

The kernel's name

parameters

The parameters of the kernel (list of KernelParameter)

covariance_matrix

The covariance matrix of the kernel in a tensor format

positions_df

The positions of the points in a dataframe format

has_dist_matrix

Identify if the kernel has a distance matrix or not
