Explanations

Bibliographic source

Classical Gaussian-kernel convolution smoothing.

Mathematical principle

Convolves each spectrum with a discretised Gaussian kernel of a given standard deviation, a low-pass filter that attenuates high-frequency noise with minimal ringing compared with a boxcar average.

Implementation

C ABI n4m_pp_gaussian_* in libn4m (create / apply / destroy lifecycle), wrapped by n4m.sklearn.Gaussian. The same numerical kernel backs every language binding.

Usage

from n4m.sklearn import Gaussian
op = Gaussian()
X_transformed = op.fit_transform(X)

Benchmarks

Adaptive wall-clock per cell measured against full_matrix.csv. Only backends that implement this method are listed; libraries without the method are omitted.

Verdict  ·  ✓ ref / ≈ ref / ~ shape mark a reference-gate pass at strict / relaxed / qualitative tolerance  ·  ✓ bind = pls4all binding agrees with the C++ baseline  ·  ⇄ cross-check = documented by-design selector/RNG/model, noncanonical API/facade convention, or secondary oracle  ·  ✗ divergent  ·  ⚠ error  ·  — not run. The fastest backend per column is marked 🏆.

Reference gate: strict — numeric equivalence (rmse_rel_tol 1e-12).
