An R package for fitting some of the most common Gaussian process (GP) models. Implements Laplace and EP approximations for handling non-Gaussian observation models, performs hyperparameter optimization using maximum marginal likelihood (or posterior), and implements some common sparse approximations for handling larger datasets. Provides also tools for model assessment and comparison via leave-one-out (LOO) cross-validation.
The syntax has taken a lot of inspiration from that of GPstuff but the intention of the package is not to be a GPstuff clone for R.

Example
library(gplite)
library(ggplot2)
# create some toy 1d regression data
set.seed(32004)
n <- 200
sigma <- 0.1
x <- rnorm(n)
y <- sin(3*x)*exp(-abs(x)) + rnorm(n)*sigma
# set up the gp model, and optimize the hyperparameters
gp <- gp_init(cfs = cf_sexp(), lik = lik_gaussian())
gp <- gp_optim(gp, x, y)
# compute the predictive mean and variance in a grid of points
xt <- seq(-4, 4, len=300)
pred <- gp_pred(gp, xt, var=T)
# visualize
mu <- pred$mean
lb <- pred$mean - 2*sqrt(pred$var)
ub <- pred$mean + 2*sqrt(pred$var)
