wolffd@0 25 Description
wolffd@0 26 </h2>
wolffd@0 27
wolffd@0 28 <p><CODE>cov = gpcovar(net, x)</CODE> takes
wolffd@0 29 a Gaussian Process data structure <CODE>net</CODE> together with
wolffd@0 30 a matrix <CODE>x</CODE> of input vectors, and computes the covariance
wolffd@0 31 matrix <CODE>cov</CODE>. The inverse of this matrix is used when calculating
wolffd@0 32 the mean and variance of the predictions made by <CODE>net</CODE>.
wolffd@0 33
wolffd@0 34 <p><CODE>[cov, covf] = gpcovar(net, x)</CODE> also generates the covariance
wolffd@0 35 matrix due to the covariance function specified by <CODE>net.covarfn</CODE>
wolffd@0 36 as calculated by <CODE>gpcovarf</CODE>.
wolffd@0 37
wolffd@0 38 <p><h2>
wolffd@0 39 Example
wolffd@0 40 </h2>
wolffd@0 41 In the following example, the inverse covariance matrix is calculated
wolffd@0 42 for a set of training inputs <CODE>x</CODE> and is then
wolffd@0 43 passed to <CODE>gpfwd</CODE> so that predictions (with mean <CODE>ytest</CODE> and
wolffd@0 44 variance <CODE>sigsq</CODE>) can be made for the test inputs
wolffd@0 45 <CODE>xtest</CODE>.
wolffd@0 46 <PRE>
wolffd@0 47
wolffd@0 48 cninv = inv(gpcovar(net, x));
wolffd@0 49 [ytest, sigsq] = gpfwd(net, xtest, cninv);
