Zhang, X. (STAT) – Predictive Generalized Variational Inference for Spatial Gaussian Process Model
Virtual Event
Spatially dependent data are common in environmental and climate studies, where Gaussian process models are used for prediction and uncertainty quantification. Learning their covariance structure involves both statistical and computational challenges. Likelihood-based inference may be sensitive to covariance misspecification, while repeated evaluation of prediction-oriented criteria can be computationally demanding. To study these issues, we develop […]
