Non-stationary Gaussian Process Surrogates

Abstract

We provide a survey of non-stationary surrogate models which utilize Gaussian processes (GPs) or variations thereof, including non-stationary kernel adaptations, partition and local GPs, and spatial warpings through deep Gaussian processes. We also overview publicly available software implementations and conclude with a bake-off involving an 8-dimensional satellite drag computer experiment. Code for this example is provided in a public git repository.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure
