GPLinearODEMaker.jl Documentation

GPLinearODEMaker (GLOM) is a package for finding the likelihood (and derivatives thereof) of multivariate Gaussian processes (GP) that are composed of a linear combination of a univariate GP and its derivatives.

q_0(t) = m_0(t) + a_{00}X(t) + a_{01}\\dot{X}(t) + a_{02}\\ddot{X}(t)

q_1(t) = m_1(t) + a_{10}X(t) + a_{11}\\dot{X}(t) + a_{12}\\ddot{X}(t)

\\vdots

q_l(t) = m_l(t) + a_{l0}X(t) + a_{l1}\\dot{X}(t) + a_{l2}\\ddot{X}(t)

where each X(t) is the latent GP and the qs are the time series of the outputs.

Where to begin?

If you haven't used GLOM before, a good place to start is the "Getting Started" section. We list how to install the package as well as a simple example

User's Guide

Using GLOM generally starts with choosing a kernel function (possibly with include_kernel)

and creating a GLO object.

Several kernel functions have been created already and are stored in src/kernels. Once one has a GLO, the covariances, likelihoods, and their derivatives can be easily calculated using GLOM

In addition, we have also provided some possible reasonable priors that can be used for the kernel hyperparameters
