R: Gaussian Process model
gpR Documentation

Gaussian Process model

Description

Gaussian Process model.

Usage


gp(formula, data, inputs, cov, estim = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

formula

A formula with a left-hand side specifying the response name, and the right-hand side the trend covariates (see examples below). Factors are not allowed neither as response nor as covariates.

data

A data frame containing the response, the inputs specified in inputs, and all the trend variables required in formula.

inputs

A character vector giving the names of the inputs.

cov

A covariance kernel object or call.

estim

Logical. If TRUE, the model parameters are estimated by Maximum Likelihood. The initial values can then be specified using the parCovIni and varNoiseIni arguments of mle,covAll-method passed though dots. If FALSE, a simple Generalised Least Squares estimation will be used, see gls,covAll-method. Then the value of varNoise must be given and passed through dots in case noise is TRUE.

...

Other arguments passed to the estimation method. This will be the mle,covAll-method if estim is TRUE or gls,covAll-method if estim is FALSE. In the first case, the arguments will typically include varNoiseIni. In the second case, they will typically include varNoise. Note that a logical noise can be used in the "mle" case. In both cases, the arguments y, X, F can not be used since they are automatically passed.

Value

A list object which is given the S3 class "gp". The list content is very likely to change, and should be used through methods.

Note

When estim is TRUE, the covariance object in cov is expected to provide a gradient when used to compute a covariance matrix, since the default value of compGrad mle.
