Principal component analysis for Gaussian process posteriors [PDF]
This paper proposes an extension of principal component analysis for Gaussian process (GP) posteriors, denoted by GP-PCA. Since GP-PCA estimates a low-dimensional space of GP posteriors, it can be used for meta-learning, which is a framework for improving the performance of target tasks by estimating a structure of a set of tasks.

Influence of the Bounds of the Hyperparameters on the Reconstruction of Hubble Constant with Gaussian Process [PDF]
The cosmological model-independent method Gaussian process (GP) has been widely used in the reconstruction of Hubble constant $H_0$, and the hyperparameters inside GP influence the reconstructed result derived from GP. Different hyperparameters inside GP are used in the constraint of $H_0$ derived from GP with observational Hubble parameter $H(z)$ data

Improving the accuracy of estimates of animal path and travel distance using GPS drift-corrected dead reckoning [PDF]
Route taken and distance travelled are important parameters for studies of animal locomotion. They are often measured using a collar equipped with GPS.

GP-MOOD: A positive-preserving high-order finite volume method for hyperbolic conservation laws [PDF]
We present an a posteriori shock-capturing finite volume method algorithm called GP-MOOD that solves a compressible hyperbolic conservative system at high-order solution accuracy (e.g., third-, fifth-, and seventh-order) in multiple spatial dimensions. The GP-MOOD method combines two methodologies, the polynomial-free spatial reconstruction methods of ...

Validation of GPS atmospheric water vapor with WVR data in satellite tracking mode [PDF]
Slant-integrated water vapor (SIWV) data derived from GPS STDs (slant total delays), which provide the spatial information on tropospheric water vapor, have a high potential for assimilation to weather models or for nowcasting or reconstruction of the

Where do we go from here? An assessment of navigation performance using a compass versus a GPS unit [PDF]
The Global Positioning System (GPS) looks set to replace the traditional map and compass for navigation tasks in military and civil domains. However, we may ask whether GPS has a real performance advantage over traditional methods.
