GPstuff is a toolbox for Bayesian Modeling with Gaussian Processes with following features and more:

• Several covariance functions (e.g. squared exponential, exponential, Matérn, periodic and a compactly supported piece wise polynomial function)
  • Sums, products and scaling of covariance functions
  • Euclidean and delta distance
• Several mean functions with marginalized parameters
• Several likelihood/observation models
  • Continuous observations: Gaussian, Gaussian scale mixture (MCMC only), Student's-t, quantile regression
  • Classification: Logit, Probit, multinomial logit (softmax), multinomial probit
  • Count data: Binomial, Poisson, (Zero truncated) Negative-Binomial, Hurdle model, Zero-inflated Negative-Binomial, Multinomial
  • Survival: Cox-PH, Weibull, log-Gaussian, log-logistic
  • Point process: Log-Gaussian Cox process
  • Density estimation and regression: logistic GP
  • Other: derivative observations (for sexp covariance function only)
• Hierarchical priors for hyperparameters
• Sparse models
  • Sparse matrix routines for compactly supported covariance functions
  • Fully and partially independent conditional (FIC, PIC)
  • Compactly supported plus FIC (CS+FIC)
  • Variational sparse (VAR), Deterministic training conditional (DTC), Subset of regressors (SOR) (Gaussian/EP only)
  • PASS-GP
• Latent inference
  • Exact (Gaussian only)
  • Laplace, Expectation propagation (EP), Parallel EP, Robust-EP
  • marginal posterior corrections (cm2 and fact)
  • Scaled Metropolis, Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC), Scaled HMC, Elliptical slice sampling
• Hyperparameter inference
  • Type II ML/MAP
  • Leave-one-out cross-validation (LOO-CV), Laplace/EP LOO-CV
  • Metropolis, HMC, No-U-Turn-Sampler (NUTS), Slice Sampling (SLS), Surrogate SLS, Shrinking-rank SLS, Covariance-matching SLS
  • Grid, CCD, Importance sampling
• Model assessment
  • LOO-CV, Laplace/EP LOO-CV, IS-LOO-CV, k-fold-CV
  • WAIC, DIC
  • Average predictive comparison

Changes to previous version:

2013-10-14 Version 4.3

Improvements:

• lgpdens.m: better default estimation using importance and rejection sampling, better default priors (see updated paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1211.0174)
• Robust-EP for zero truncated negative-binomial likelihood
• If moment computations in EP return NaN, return NaN energy (handled gracefully by fminlbfgs and fminscg)
• gp_cpred.m: new option 'target'
• gp_ia.m: Changed Hessian computation stepsize to 1e-3
• gpstuff_version.m: function for returning current GPstuff version
• gpia_jpreds.m: a new function
• demo_survival_weibull.m -> demo_survival_aft.m

Bug fixes:

• build suitesparse path correctly if it includes spaces
• gp_avpredcomp.m: fixed for Cox-PH
• gp_cpred.m: fixed for Cox-PH
• esls.m: don't accept a step to a point with infinite log likelihood
• gp_ia.m: removed some redundant computation
• gp_rnd.m: works now for multilatent models also
• bugfixes for setrandstream
• other bugfixes
