 The squared exponential kernel is a Mercer kernel given by the formula:
 ```
-    κ(x,y) = exp(-‖x-y‖²)
+    κ(x, y) = exp(-‖x - y‖² / 2)
 ```
-Can also be called via `SEKernel`, `GaussianKernel` or `SEKernel`.
+Can also be called via `RBFKernel`, `GaussianKernel` or `SEKernel`.
 See also [`ExponentialKernel`](@ref) for a
 related form of the kernel or [`GammaExponentialKernel`](@ref) for a generalization.
