fit_one_layer: MCMC sampling for one layer GP

In deepgp: Bayesian Deep Gaussian Processes using MCMC

MCMC sampling for one layer GP

Description

Conducts MCMC sampling of hyperparameters for a one layer GP. Length scale parameter theta governs the strength of the correlation and nugget parameter g governs noise. In Matern covariance, v governs smoothness.

Usage

fit_one_layer(
  x,
  y,
  nmcmc = 10000,
  sep = FALSE,
  verb = TRUE,
  g_0 = 0.001,
  theta_0 = 0.1,
  true_g = NULL,
  settings = NULL,
  cov = c("matern", "exp2"),
  v = 2.5,
  vecchia = FALSE,
  m = min(25, length(y) - 1),
  ordering = NULL
)

Arguments

x	vector or matrix of input locations
y	vector of response values
nmcmc	number of MCMC iterations
sep	logical indicating whether to use separable (sep = TRUE) or isotropic (sep = FALSE) lengthscales
verb	logical indicating whether to print iteration progress
g_0	initial value for g
theta_0	initial value for theta
true_g	if true nugget is known it may be specified here (set to a small value to make fit deterministic). Note - values that are too small may cause numerical issues in matrix inversions.
settings	hyperparameters for proposals and priors (see details)
cov	covariance kernel, either Matern or squared exponential ("exp2")
v	Matern smoothness parameter (only used if cov = "matern")
vecchia	logical indicating whether to use Vecchia approximation
m	size of Vecchia conditioning sets (only used if vecchia = TRUE)
ordering	optional ordering for Vecchia approximation, must correspond to rows of x, defaults to random

Details

Utilizes Metropolis Hastings sampling of the length scale and nugget parameters with proposals and priors controlled by settings. When true_g is set to a specific value, the nugget is not estimated. When vecchia = TRUE, all calculations leverage the Vecchia approximation with specified conditioning set size m. Vecchia approximation is only implemented for cov = "matern".

NOTE on OpenMP: The Vecchia implementation relies on OpenMP parallelization for efficient computation. This function will produce a warning message if the package was installed without OpenMP (this is the default for CRAN packages installed on Apple machines). To set up OpenMP parallelization, download the package source code and install using the gcc/g++ compiler.

Proposals for g and theta follow a uniform sliding window scheme, e.g.

g_star <- runif(1, l * g_t / u, u * g_t / l),

with defaults l = 1 and u = 2 provided in settings. To adjust these, set settings = list(l = new_l, u = new_u). Priors on g and theta follow Gamma distributions with shape parameters (alpha) and rate parameters (beta) controlled within the settings list object. Defaults have been updated with package version 1.1.3. Default priors differ for noisy/deterministic settings and depend on whether monowarp = TRUE. All default values are visible in the internal deepgp:::check_settings function. These priors are designed for x scaled to [0, 1] and y scaled to have mean 0 and variance 1. These may be adjusted using the settings input.

The output object of class gp is designed for use with continue, trim, and predict.

Value

a list of the S3 class gp or gpvec with elements:

• x: copy of input matrix

• y: copy of response vector

• nmcmc: number of MCMC iterations

• settings: copy of proposal/prior settings

• v: copy of Matern smoothness parameter (v = 999 indicates cov = "exp2")

• g: vector of MCMC samples for g

• theta: vector of MCMC samples for theta

• tau2: vector of MLE estimates for tau2 (scale parameter)

• ll: vector of MVN log likelihood for each Gibbs iteration

• time: computation time in seconds
