gplib 0.5.1

Python library for Gaussian Process Regression.

GPlib

A python library for Gaussian Process Regression.

Setup GPlib

• The following packages must be installed before installing GPlib

# for ptyhon3
apt-get install python3-tk
# or for python2
apt-get install python-tk

• Create and activate virtualenv (for python2) or venv (for ptyhon3)

# for ptyhon3
python3 -m venv --system-site-packages .env
# or for python2
virtualenv --system-site-packages .env

source .env/bin/activate

• Upgrade pip

# for ptyhon3
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
# or for python2
python -m pip install --upgrade pip

• Install GPlib package

python -m pip install gplib

Use GPlib

• Import GPlib to use it in your python script.

import gplib

• Generate some data and test points.

import numpy as np
data = {
  'X': np.arange(3, 8, 1)[:, None],
  'Y': np.random.uniform(0, 2, 5)[:, None]
}
plot_points = np.arange(0, 10, 0.01)[:, None]

• Initialize the GP module with the desired modules.

gp = gplib.GP(
  mean_function=gplib.mea.Constant(data),
  covariance_function=gplib.cov.SquaredExponential(data, is_ard=False),
  likelihood_function=gplib.lik.Gaussian(is_noisy=True),
  inference_method=gplib.inf.ExactGaussian()
)

• Sample the prior and the posterior GPs.

prior_samples = gp.sample(plot_points, n_samples=10)
posterior_gp = gp.get_posterior(data)
posterior_samples = posterior_gp.sample(plot_points, n_samples=10)

• Finally plot the samples.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.style.use('ggplot')

plt.clf()
plt.plot(
  (plot_points).flatten().tolist(),
  prior_samples, color='#43dce5'
)
plt.plot(
  (plot_points).flatten().tolist(),
  posterior_samples, color='#b19df0'
)
plt.plot(
  (data['X']).flatten().tolist(),
  (data['Y']).flatten().tolist(), color='#714ce5',
  linestyle='None', marker='o'
)
plt.show()
