Conditional Gaussians in infinite dimensions

I asked this over on cross validated, but thought it might also get an answer here: The law of the conditional Gaussian distribution (the mean and covariance) are frequently mentioned to extend to the ...

Gaussian process kernel parameter tuning

I am reading on gaussian processes and there are multiple resources that say how the parameters of the prior (kernel, mean) can be fitted based on data,specifically by choosing those that maximize the ...

Bayesian inference of stochastically evolving model parameters

I have a question related to self-calibration in radio interferometry, but I will try to phrase it as generic as possible. I have a set of data points, $D = \{ d_{0, t_0}, d_{1, t_0}, ..., d_{M, t_0}, ...

Convolution of two Gaussian mixture model

Suppose I have two independent random variables $X$, $Y$, each modeled by the Gaussian mixture model (GMM). That is, $$ f(x)=\sum _{k=1}^K \pi _k \mathcal{N}\left(x|\mu _k,\sigma _k\right) $$ $$ g(y)=\...

Quantifying the effect of noise on the posterior variance in Gaussian processes / multivariate Gaussian vectors

Consider a real-valued Gaussian process $f$ on some compact domain $\mathcal{X}$ with mean zero and covariance function $k(x,x') \in [0,1]$ (also known as the kernel function). This question concerns ...

Learning a Gaussian from noisy observations

Is it possible to learn a distribution over the parameters ($K=\Sigma^{-1}$ and $\mu$) of a Gaussian from noisy measurements of $X$? (Starting with some appropriate prior over the parameters) I know ...
