Gaussian Process Regression using GPML toolbox

Gaussian Process Regression

Gaussian Process Regression using GPML toolbox

Description

• This code is based on the GPML toolbox V4.2.
• Provided two demos (multiple input single output & multiple input multiple output).
• Use feval(@ function name) to see the number of hyperparameters in a function. For example:

K > > feval (@ covRQiso)
Ans =
'(1 + 1 + 1)'

It shows that the covariance function covRQiso requires 3 hyperparameters. Therefore, 3 hyperparameters need to be initialized when using the optimization function minimize. The meaning and range of each hyperparameter are explained in detail in the description of each function.

• Different likelihood functions have different inference function requirements, which can be seen in detail ./gpml-matlab-v4.2-2018-06-11/doc/index.html or ./gpml-matlab-v4.2-2018-06-11/doc/manual.PDF.
