  The Gaussian Processes Web Site
The simplest uses of Gaussian process models are for (the conjugate case of) regression with Gaussian noise.
Gaussian processes are in my view the simplest and most obvious way of defining flexible Bayesian regression and classification models, but despite some past usage, they appear to have been rather neglected as a general-purpose technique.
We derive novel analytic expressions for the predictive mean and variance for Gaussian kernel shapes under the assumption of a Gaussian input distribution in the static case, and of a recursive Gaussian predictive density in iterative forecasting.

 Monte Carlo Implementation of Gaussian Process Models for Bayesian Regression and Classification - Neal (ResearchIndex)
Gaussian processes are a natural way of defining prior distributions over functions of one or more input variables.
In a simple nonparametric regression problem, where such a function gives the mean of a Gaussian distribution for an observed response, a Gaussian process model can easily be implemented using matrix computations that are feasible for datasets of up to about a thousand cases.

 G03 Manual: RUNNING
Gaussian will generate names for the first two segments, and the third will be given the name my_job.
If Gaussian is being used on a machine with limited physical memory, so that the default of 48 MB is not available, the default algorithms as well as the default memory allocation should be set appropriately during installation.
Gaussian may be run using the NQS batch facility on those UNIX systems that support it.

 Using G03 with Linda
The Linda parallel programming model involves a master process, which runs on the current processor, and a number of worker processes which can run on other nodes of the network.
So a Gaussian 03 /Linda run must specify the number of processors to use, the list of processors where the jobs should be run, and occasionally other job parameters.
A corollary of this is that if you forget to include %NProcLinda within the Gaussian 03 input file or -L- in the Default.Route file, then the job will not run in parallel, although there may be an idle Linda process on each of the nodes in the node list.

 Examples of Gaussian Process inference   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
It is important that the average needed for the posterior process to be implemented is one-dimensional (or two, but definitely does not scale with the number of examples as with the normal use of GP inference).
Gaussian, or its type is not known but there is the possibility of having outliers in the data.
The likelihood model Gaussian regression, thus the novelty of this type of learning is the inclusion of the special information about the test points.

 How to prove the output of Linear Filtering a Gaussian Process is still Gaussian?
By definition, a Gaussian process is a function x such that for any finite integer k, and for any arbitary time t1, t2,..., tk, that x(t1), x(t2),...., x(tk) are jointly Gaussian RV.
It is quite obvious that a Gaussian RV remains Gaussian after linear filtering it, but for a Gaussian process, I am not sure what to use to prove that.
The decretised integral is a linear combination of jointly Gaussian variables, and is therefore Gaussian.

Gaussian processes (GPs) have gained popularity among researchers in the machine learning community.
Despite their attractive simplicity and generality, due to the large time-, and resource requirements, GPs have not been usable for large practical problems.
The posterior process is approximated by a Gaussian process, which allows eg robust regression (Laplace noise), classification and an interesting noise model, which is exponential, but the noise is constrained to only positive values.

 Gaussian process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Gaussian process is a stochastic process which generates samples over time {X
It is not stationary, but it has stationary increments.
(Given any set of N points in the desired domain of your functions, take a multivariate Gaussian whose covariance matrix parameter is the Gram matrix of your N points with some desired kernel, and sample from that Gaussian.) Inference of continuous values with a Gaussian process prior is known as Gaussian process regression, or Kriging.

In the Bayesian framework, this is done by evaluating the marginal likelihood of the data given a candidate structure.
This term can be computed in closed-form for standard parametric families (e.g., Gaussians), and can be approximated, at some computational cost, for some semi-parametric families (e.g., mixtures of Gaussians).

 GPDM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
This project introduces Gaussian process dynamical models (GPDM) for nonlinear time series analysis, and aims to explore potential applications to people tracking and data-driven animation.
A GPDM comprises a low-dimensional latent space with associated dynamics, and a map from the latent space to an observation space.
We marginalize out the model parameters in closed-form, which amounts to using Gaussian process (GP) priors for both the dynamics and the observation mappings.
