Definition of Kernel Kernel: A kernel is a mathematical function that takes two inputs, typically vectors in a high-dimensional space, and outputs a scalar. The kernel function defines a similarity or distance between the two vectors. How is Kernel used? Kernel is the core component of a computer’s operating system that acts as an interface…
Null Hypothesis
ByDavis
Definition of Null Hypothesis The null hypothesis is a statement that is presumed to be true until evidence is presented to suggest otherwise. In statistics, the null hypothesis is typically contrasted with the alternative hypothesis, which is the statement that is posited if the null hypothesis is found to be false. The null hypothesis is…
