Parameter estimation in linear errors-in-variables models typically requires that the measurement error distribution be known (or estimable from replicate data). A generalized method of moments approach can be used to estimate model…
We consider a modification of the covariance function in Gaussian processes to correctly account for known linear constraints. By modelling the target function as a transformation of an underlying function, the constraints are explicitly…

We construct a frame of complex Gaussians for the space of $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ functions. When propagated along bicharacteristics for the wave equation, the frame can be used to build a parametrix with suitable error terms. When the…
Gaussian Process (GP) models have also become extremely useful for optimization under uncertainty algorithms, especially where the objective functions are costly to compute. Yet, the more classical methods usually adopt strategies that, in…

The kernel function and its hyperparameters are the central model selection choice in a Gaussian proces (Rasmussen and Williams, 2006). Typically, the hyperparameters of the kernel are chosen by maximising the marginal likelihood, an…
Gaussian quantum channels are relevant operations in continuous variable systems. In general, given an arbitrary state, the action on it is well-known provided that the quantum channels are completely characterized. In this work, we…

We study the addition of shape constraints (SC) and their consideration during the parameter identification step of symbolic regression (SR). SC serve as a means to introduce prior knowledge about the shape of the otherwise unknown model…
