Classification is a vital tool that is important for modelling many complex numerical models. A model or system may be such that, for certain areas of input space, the output either does not exist, or is not in a quantifiable form. Here, we present a new method for classification where the model outputs are given distinct classifying labels, which we model using a latent Gaussian process (GP). The latent variable is estimated using MCMC sampling, a unique likelihood and distinct prior…

Approximations for Binary Gaussian Process Classification

We provide a comprehensive overview of many recent algorithms for approximate inference in Gaussian process models for probabilistic binary classification. The relationships between several…

Bayesian calibration of computer models

A Bayesian calibration technique which improves on this traditional approach in two respects and attempts to correct for any inadequacy of the model which is revealed by a discrepancy between the observed data and the model predictions from even the best‐fitting parameter values is presented.

Gaussian Processes for Machine Learning

The treatment is comprehensive and self-contained, targeted at researchers and students in machine learning and applied statistics, and deals with the supervised learning problem for both regression and classification.

Screening, predicting, and computer experiments

This work model the output of the computer code as the realization of a stochastic process, allowing nonlinear and interaction effects to emerge without explicitly modeling such effects.

Under the assumption of the existence of a uniform additive model error term, ABC algorithms give exact results when sufficient summaries are used, which allows the approximation made in many previous application papers to be understood, and should guide the choice of metric and tolerance in future work.

Multivariate Generalized Gaussian Process Models

By instantiating the EFD with specific parameter functions, this work obtains two novel GP models (and corresponding inference algorithms) for correlated outputs: a Von-Mises GP for angle regression; and a Dirichlet GP for regressing on the multinomial simplex.

Galaxy formation : a Bayesian uncertainty analysis.

A Bayes Linear approach is presented in order to identify the subset of the input space that could give rise to acceptable matches between model output and measured data, and was successful in producing a large collection of model evaluations that exhibit good fits to the observed data.

Model‐based geostatistics

Conventional geostatistical methodology solves the problem of predicting the realized value of a linear functional of a Gaussian spatial stochastic process S(x) based on observations Yi = S(xi) + Zi…

Analyzing Nonstationary Spatial Data Using Piecewise Gaussian Processes

In many problems in geostatistics the response variable of interest is strongly related to the underlying geology of the spatial location. In these situations there is often little correlation in the…
