Description
In this lecture, I will provide an introduction to Gaussian
processes (GPs), with a view toward applications in high-energy
physics. I will start with the basic definition of a GP and explain
how to perform inference with these models. I will then describe
the choice and estimation of the mean and the covariance
function and demonstrate these ideas with simple examples.
I will close with a brief overview of applications of GPs in
high-energy physics.
