Sigmoid kernel

The sigmoid kernel is based on this function:

The constant term r is specified through the coef0 parameter. As pointed out in A study on sigmoid kernels for SVM and the training of non-PSD kernels by SMO-type methods, Lin, Hsuan-Tien, and Chih-Jen Lin, Submitted to Neural Computation 3 (2003): 1-32, if γ << 1 and r < 0, the sigmoid kernel behaves like an RBF one, however, in general, its performance is never dominant with respect to RBF or polynomial kernels. Hence, it's preferable to test the first two methods before trying this one.
