A kernel method represents data through a positive-semidefinite kernel, allowing algorithms to use inner products in an implicit feature map.
Kernel ridge regression minimizes empirical squared error plus the squared norm in a Reproducing kernel Hilbert space. The representer theorem reduces it to ridge regression with the kernel matrix as its feature Gram matrix.
For the unscaled objective , the kernel-ridge hat matrix is . Its prediction variance is . For eigenvalues , use and to bound the variance and the squared bias. The latter also uses the reproducing property and Bessel inequality, and does not require invertibility of .

Kernel methods are a class of algorithms used in machine learning and statistics that rely on the concept of a "kernel" function. These methods are particularly useful for handling non-linear data by implicitly mapping data into a higher-dimensional feature space without the need for explicit transformation. This approach allows linear algorithms to be applied to data that is not linearly separable in its original space.
