Optimize prior hyper-parameter with respect to the pseudo-likelihood, using the BFGS algorithm

Syntax

 HP = bfgs_search_prior(Xt, Yt, HPini, kfun, basis)

Arguments

  • Xt matrix (n, d) where n is the number of data points and d is the dimension
  • Yt vector (n, 1) of noisy observations
  • HPini vector (h, 1) of initial hyper-parameters formatted as : [log(sf2) log(sn) log(w1) log(w2)]
  • kfun kernel function such as kernel_se
  • basis basis function such as basis_none

Outputs

  • HP vector (h, 1) of locally optimal log hyper-parameters
  • kernel found kernel function
  • noise found noise standard deviation
