pymc.gp.MarginalApprox.conditional#

MarginalApprox.conditional(name, Xnew, pred_noise=False, given=None, jitter=1e-06, **kwargs)[source]#

Returns the approximate conditional distribution of the GP evaluated over new input locations Xnew.

Parameters
name: string

Name of the random variable

Xnew: array-like

Function input values. If one-dimensional, must be a column vector with shape (n, 1).

pred_noise: bool

Whether or not observation noise is included in the conditional. Default is False.

given: dict

Can optionally take as key value pairs: X, Xu, y, sigma, and gp. See the section in the documentation on additive GP models in PyMC for more information.

jitter: scalar

A small correction added to the diagonal of positive semi-definite covariance matrices to ensure numerical stability.

**kwargs

Extra keyword arguments that are passed to MvNormal distribution constructor.
