用于进行所谓的支持向量机的分析

function ker = polynomial(arg)

% POLYNOMIAL
%
% Construct a polynomial kernel object,
%
%    K(x1, x2) = (x1*x2' + 1).^d;
%
% Examples:
%
%    % default constructor (quadratic kernel, d = 2)
%
%    ker1 = polynomial;
%
%    % copy constructor
%
%    ker2 = polnomial(ker1);
%
%    % construct polynomial kernel, d = 0.5
%
%    ker3 = polynomial(5);
