Example of simple GP fit, adapted from Stan's example-models repository.
This example builds a Gaussian process from scratch, to illustrate the underlying model. PyMC3 now includes a dedicated GP submodule which is going to be more usable for a wider variety of problems.

We will use a squared exponential covariance function, which relies on the squared distances between observed points in the data.
In [3]:
squared_distance = lambda x, y: np.array([[(x[i] - y[j])**2 for i in range(len(x))] for j in range(len(y))])

with Model() as gp_fit:
μ = np.zeros(N)
η_sq = HalfCauchy('η_sq', 5)
ρ_sq = HalfCauchy('ρ_sq', 5)
σ_sq = HalfCauchy('σ_sq', 5)
D = squared_distance(x, x)
# Squared exponential
Σ = T.fill_diagonal(η_sq * T.exp(-ρ_sq * D), η_sq + σ_sq)
obs = MvNormal('obs', μ, Σ, observed=y)
This is what our initial covariance matrix looks like. Intuitively, every data point's Y-value correlates with points according to their squared distances.

The following generates predictions from the GP model in a grid of values:

# Prediction over grid
xgrid = np.linspace(-6, 6)

D_off_diag = squared_distance(x, xgrid)
# Covariance matrices for prediction
Σ_pred = η_sq * T.exp(-ρ_sq * D_pred)
Σ_off_diag = η_sq * T.exp(-ρ_sq * D_off_diag)
# Posterior mean
μ_post = Deterministic('μ_post', T.dot(T.dot(Σ_off_diag, matrix_inverse(Σ)), y))
# Posterior covariance
Σ_post = Deterministic('Σ_post', Σ_pred - T.dot(T.dot(Σ_off_diag, matrix_inverse(Σ)), Σ_off_diag.T))
