Gaussian Process Models for Scalar and Functional Inputs

Description: funGp is a regression package based on Gaussian process models. It allows inputs to be either scalar, functional (represented as vectors), or a combination of both. A dimension reduction functionality is implemented in order aid keeping the model light while keeping enough information about the inputs for the model to predict well. Moreover, funGp offers a model selection feature which allows to tune different characteristics of the model such as the active scalar and functional inputs, the type of kernel function and the family of basis function used for the projection of the inputs. This is an extension of the work presented in Betancourt et al. (2020).

Main functionalities :small_blue_diamond: Creation of regression models :small_blue_diamond: Output estimation at unobserved input points :small_blue_diamond: Random sampling from a Gaussian process model :small_blue_diamond: Heuristic optimization of model structure

Note: funGp was first developed in the frame of the RISCOPE research project, funded by the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) for the period 2017-2021 (ANR project No. 16CE04-0011, RISCOPE.fr), and certified by SAFE Cluster.
