Python module to do inference with Gaussian processes. Features:
- Based on JAX.
- Interoperates with gvar and lsqfit to facilitate inexpert users.
- Recursively structured covariates.
- Apply arbitrary linear transformations to the processes, finite and infinite.
- Small PPL based on Gaussian copulas to specify the hyperparameters prior.
- Rich collection of covariance functions.
- Good GP versions of BART (Bayes Additive Regression Trees) and BCF (Bayesian Causal Forests).
See this report for the theory behind lsqfitgp.
Python >= 3.9 required. Then:
$ pip install lsqfitgp
The complete manual is available online at gattocrucco.github.io/lsqfitgp/docs. All the code is documented with docstrings, so you can also use the Python help system directly from the shell:
>>> import lsqfitgp as lgp
>>> help(lgp)
>>> help(lgp.something)or, in an IPython shell/Jupyter notebook/Spyder IDE, use the question mark shortcut:
In [1]: lgp?
In [2]: lgp.something?
