        "\n# Explicit feature map approximation for RBF kernels\n\n\nAn example illustrating the approximation of the feature map\nof an RBF kernel.\n\n.. currentmodule:: sklearn.kernel_approximation\n\nIt shows how to use :class:`RBFSampler` and :class:`Nystroem` to\napproximate the feature map of an RBF kernel for classification with an SVM on\nthe digits dataset. Results using a linear SVM in the original space, a linear\nSVM using the approximate mappings and using a kernelized SVM are compared.\nTimings and accuracy for varying amounts of Monte Carlo samplings (in the case\nof :class:`RBFSampler`, which uses random Fourier features) and different sized\nsubsets of the training set (for :class:`Nystroem`) for the approximate mapping\nare shown.\n\nPlease note that the dataset here is not large enough to show the benefits\nof kernel approximation, as the exact SVM is still reasonably fast.\n\nSampling more dimensions clearly leads to better classification results, but\ncomes at a greater cost. This means there is a tradeoff between runtime and\naccuracy, given by the parameter n_components. Note that solving the Linear\nSVM and also the approximate kernel SVM could be greatly accelerated by using\nstochastic gradient descent via :class:`sklearn.linear_model.SGDClassifier`.\nThis is not easily possible for the case of the kernelized SVM.\n"
