@CodeReview(reviewer="Kevin R. Dixon", date="2009-07-08", changesNeeded=false, comments={"Made clone call super.clone.","Looks fine otherwise."}) public class VectorFunctionKernel extends DefaultKernelContainer<Vector> implements Kernel<Vectorizable>
VectorFunctionKernel implements a kernel that makes use of a
vector function plus a kernel that operates on vectors. If no kernel is
specified the linear kernel (dot product) is used.| Modifier and Type | Field and Description |

AbstractCloneableSerializableObject class and
removes the exception that it throws. Its default behavior is to
automatically create a clone of the exact type of object that the
clone is called on and to copy all primitives but to keep all references,
which means it is a shallow copy.
Extensions of this class may want to override this method (but call
super.clone() to implement a "smart copy". That is, to target
the most common use case for creating a copy of the object. Because of
the default behavior being a shallow copy, extending classes only need
to handle fields that need to have a deeper copy (or those that need to
be reset). Some of the methods in ObjectUtil may be helpful in
implementing a custom clone method.
Note: The contract of this method is that you must use
super.clone() as the basis for your implementation.clone in interface CloneableSerializableclone in class DefaultKernelContainer<Vector>public double evaluate(Vectorizable x, Vectorizable y)
