Background:

  • Gaussian processes (GPs) are extensions of multivariate Gaussian distributions to infinite index sets.
  • GPs are widely applied across various fields, with extensive theoretical analysis available.
  • Existing literature often employs advanced mathematical concepts, posing a barrier to understanding for machine learning practitioners.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Gaussian processes (GPs) at an elementary level, focusing on machine learning relevance.
  • To establish explicit connections between GPs and other kernel machines like spline smoothing and support vector machines.
  • To provide a simplified presentation of GP characteristics, referencing more detailed sources.

Main Methods:

  • Bayesian framework for GP modeling, enabling powerful statistical methods.
