Description Details Author(s) References

A computationally stable approach of fitting a Gaussian process (GP) model to simulator outputs. It is assumed that the input variables are continuous and the outputs are obtained from scalar valued deterministic computer simulator.

This package implements a slightly modified version of the regularized GP model proposed in Ranjan et al. (2011). For details see MacDonald et al. (2015). A new parameterization of the Gaussian correlation is used for the ease of optimization. This package uses a multi-start gradient based search algorithm for optimizing the deviance (negative 2*log-likelihood).

For a complete list of functions, use library(help="GPfit").
The main function for fitting the GP model is GP_fit.
