gpflow.conditionals.base_conditional

gpflow.conditionals.base_conditional(Kmn, Kmm, Knn, f, *, full_cov=False, q_sqrt=None, white=False)[source]
Given a g1 and g2, and distribution p and q such that

p(g2) = N(g2; 0, Kmm)

p(g1) = N(g1; 0, Knn) p(g1 | g2) = N(g1; Knm (Kmm⁻¹) g2, Knn - Knm (Kmm⁻¹) Kmn)

And

q(g2) = N(g2; f, q_sqrt q_sqrtᵀ)

This method computes the mean and (co)variance of

q(g1) = ∫ q(g2) p(g1 | g2)

Parameters

  • Kmn (Tensor) – [M, …, N]

  • Kmm (Tensor) – [M, M]

  • Knn (Tensor) – […, N, N] or N

  • f (Tensor) – [M, R]

  • full_cov – bool

  • q_sqrt (Optional[Tensor]) – If this is a Tensor, it must have shape [R, M, M] (lower triangular) or [M, R] (diagonal)

  • white – bool

Returns

[N, R] or [R, N, N]

gpflow.conditionals.conditional

This function uses multiple dispatch, which will depend on the type of argument passed in:

gpflow.conditionals.conditional( object, InducingVariables, Kernel, object )
# dispatch to -> gpflow.conditionals.conditionals._conditional(...)
gpflow.conditionals.conditionals._conditional(Xnew, X, kernel, f, *, full_cov=False, full_output_cov=False, q_sqrt=None, white=False)[source]

Given f, representing the GP at the points X, produce the mean and (co-)variance of the GP at the points Xnew.

Additionally, there may be Gaussian uncertainty about f as represented by q_sqrt. In this case f represents the mean of the distribution and q_sqrt the square-root of the covariance.

Additionally, the GP may have been centered (whitened) so that

p(v) = 𝒩(𝟎, 𝐈) f = 𝐋v

thus

p(f) = 𝒩(𝟎, 𝐋𝐋ᵀ) = 𝒩(𝟎, 𝐊).

In this case f represents the values taken by v.

The method can either return the diagonals of the covariance matrix for each output (default) or the full covariance matrix (full_cov=True).

We assume R independent GPs, represented by the columns of f (and the first dimension of q_sqrt).

Parameters

  • Xnew (Tensor) – data matrix, size [N, D]. Evaluate the GP at these new points

  • X (Tensor) – data points, size [M, D].

  • kernel (Kernel) – GPflow kernel.

  • f (Tensor) – data matrix, [M, R], representing the function values at X, for R functions.

  • q_sqrt – matrix of standard-deviations or Cholesky matrices, size [M, R] or [R, M, M].

  • white – boolean of whether to use the whitened representation as described above.

Returns

  • mean: [N, R]

  • variance: [N, R] (full_cov = False), [R, N, N] (full_cov = True)
