Figure 1
The prior distribution, noiseless posterior distribution and noisy posterior distributions for a GP with covariance 〈f(xi)f(xj)〉 = M5/2(|xi − xj|/4), where Mν(r) is the Matérn function as defined in equation (19). For each distribution, we draw four random functions (colored lines). The black line represents the mean of each distribution, while the dark- and light-shaded regions represent the 1σ and 2σ intervals, respectively. |
