What is a squared exponential kernel?
Squared Exponential Kernel
It is universal, and you can integrate it against most functions that you need to. Every function in its prior has infinitely many derivatives. It also has only two parameters: The lengthscale ℓ determines the length of the 'wiggles' in your function.
How do I choose a GPR kernel?
Here's a good way that you might justify a kernel choice in a report. First - fit 2 or 3 different kernel functions that you might think are reasonable. Second -calculate test statistics of interest such as sample autocovariance at different distances on the original data.
What does kernel do in Gaussian process?
The kernel function k(xₙ, xₘ) used in a Gaussian process model is its very heart — the kernel function essentially tells the model how similar two data points (xₙ, xₘ) are. Several kernel functions are available for use with different types of data, and we will take a look at a few of them in this section.
What is a stationary covariance function?
A stationary covariance function is a function of τ = x − x . Sometimes in this case we will write k as a function of a single argument, i.e. k(τ). The covariance function of a stationary process can be represented as the Fourier transform of a positive finite measure.
