gp_dot_prod_cov() [6/6]

template<typename T_x1 , typename T_x2 , typename T_sigma >

Eigen::Matrix< return_type_t< T_x1, T_x2, T_sigma >, Eigen::Dynamic, Eigen::Dynamic > stan::math::gp_dot_prod_cov	(	const std::vector< T_x1 > &	x1,
		const std::vector< T_x2 > &	x2,
		const T_sigma &	sigma
	)

Returns a dot product covariance matrix of differing x's.

A member of Stan's Gaussian Process Library.

\(k(x,x') = \sigma^2 + x \cdot x'\)

A dot product covariance matrix is the same covariance matrix as in bayesian regression with \(N(0,1)\) priors on regression coefficients and a \(N(0,\sigma^2)\) prior on the constant function. See Rasmussen and Williams et al 2006, Chapter 4.

Template Parameters

T_x1	type of first std::vector of double
T_x2	type of second std::vector of double
T_sigma	type of sigma

Parameters

x1	std::vector of elements that can be used in dot_product
x2	std::vector of elements that can be used in dot_product
sigma	is the constant function that can be used in stan::math::square

Returns

dot product covariance matrix that is not always symmetric

Exceptions

std::domain_error

if sigma < 0, nan or inf or if x1 or x2 are nan or inf
