Title:A Note on Noise-free Gaussian Process Prediction with Separable Covariance Functions and Grid Designs
Authors: Chris Williams ; Mac Baran ; Edwin Bonilla
Date:Dec 2007
Abstract:
Consider a random function f with a separable (or tensor product) covariance function, i.e. where x is broken in D groups (x^1, x^2, ..., x^D) and the covariance function has the form k(x, tilde{x}) = \prod_{i=1}^D k^i(x^i, tilde{x}^i). We also require that observations of f are made on a D-dimensional grid. We show how conditional independences for the Gaussian process prediction for f(x_*) (corresponding to an off-grid test input x_*) depend on how x_* matches the observation grids. This generalizes results on autokrigeability (see, e.g. Wackernagel 1998, ch. 25) to D > 2.
