Likelihoods & Inference ============================ Changing Likelihood & Inference ------------------------------------ Suggestions of which likelihood and inference method to use is implicitly given by default, * GPR uses Gaussian likelihood and exact inference. * GPC uses Erf likelihood and EP inference. * FITC model uses same default with corresponding FITC inference. * GPMC calls GPC and thus uses the default setting of GPC You can change to other likelihood or inference methods using: :: model.useLikelihood(newLik) model.useInference(newInf) *newLik* and *newInf* are **Strings**. Currently the options are: 1. Regression model * newLik: **"Laplace"**. Note this will force inference method to be EP. * newInf: **"EP"**, **"Laplace"**. 2. Classification model (including GPMC) * newInf: **"Laplace"** To be consistent with Gaussian Processes community, we use the name "Laplace" for both Laplace likelihood and Laplace inference. Please note the differences.
