This class implements the linear time Maximum Mean Statistic as described in [1]. The MMD is the distance of two probability distributions and in a RKHS.
.
Given two sets of samples and the (unbiased) statistic is computed as
where
and .
Along with the statistic comes a method to compute a p-value based on a Gaussian approximation of the null-distribution which is also possible in linear time and constant space. Bootstrapping, is also possible. If unsure which one to use, bootstrapping with 250 iterations always is correct (but slow). When the sample size is large (>1000) at least, the Gaussian approximation is an accurate and much faster choice than bootstrapping.
To choose, use set_null_approximation_method() and choose from
MMD1_GAUSSIAN: Approximates the null-distribution with a Gaussian. Only use from at least 1000 samples.
BOOTSTRAPPING: For permuting available samples to sample null-distribution
Comes with a method for selecting kernel weights, if a combined kernel on combined features is used. See optimize_kernel_weights(). See [2]
A very basic method for kernel selection when using CGaussianKernel is to use the median distance of the underlying data. See examples how to do that. More advanced methods will follow in the near future. However, the median heuristic works in quite some cases. See [1].

computes a p-value based on current method for approximating the null-distribution. The p-value is the 1-p quantile of the null- distribution where the given statistic lies in.
The method for computing the p-value can be set via set_null_approximation_method(). Since the null- distribution is normal, a Gaussian approximation is available.

Takes a set of TParameter instances (base) with a certain version and a set of target parameter infos and recursively maps the base level wise to the current version using CSGObject::migrate(...). The base is replaced. After this call, the base version containing parameters should be of same version/type as the initial target parameter infos. Note for this to work, the migrate methods and all the internal parameter mappings have to match

creates a new TParameter instance, which contains migrated data from the version that is provided. The provided parameter data base is used for migration, this base is a collection of all parameter data of the previous version. Migration is done FROM the data in param_base TO the provided param info Migration is always one version step. Method has to be implemented in subclasses, if no match is found, base method has to be called.
If there is an element in the param_base which equals the target, a copy of the element is returned. This represents the case when nothing has changed and therefore, the migrate method is not overloaded in a subclass

target | parameter info for the resulting TParameter |

This method prepares everything for a one-to-one parameter migration. One to one here means that only ONE element of the parameter base is needed for the migration (the one with the same name as the target). Data is allocated for the target (in the type as provided in the target SGParamInfo), and a corresponding new TParameter instance is written to replacement. The to_migrate pointer points to the single needed TParameter instance needed for migration. If a name change happened, the old name may be specified by old_name. In addition, the m_delete_data flag of to_migrate is set to true. So if you want to migrate data, the only thing to do after this call is converting the data in the m_parameter fields. If unsure how to use - have a look into an example for this. (base_migration_type_conversion.cpp for example)

Selects optimal kernel weights (if the underlying kernel and features are combined ones) using the ratio of the squared MMD by its standard deviation as a criterion, i.e.
where both expressions are estimated in linear time. This comes down to solving a convex program which is quadratic in the number of kernels.
SHOGUN has to be compiled with LAPACK to make this available. See set_opt* methods for optimization parameters.
IMPORTANT: Kernel weights have to be learned on different data than is used for testing/evaluation!
TODO check whether other types of combined kernels/features might be allowed
