Vecchia approximations lead in Gaussian process accuracy-runtime comparison

Researchers have compared various scalable Gaussian process approximations for handling large spatial datasets. Their analysis focused on the trade-off between model accuracy and computational runtime across simulated and real-world data. The study found that Vecchia approximations consistently offered the best balance of accuracy and speed for likelihood evaluation, parameter estimation, and prediction. AI

    An accuracy-runtime trade-off comparison of scalable Gaussian process approximations for spatial data

    arXiv:2501.11448v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Gaussian processes (GPs) are flexible, probabilistic, nonparametric models widely used in fields such as spatial statistics and machine learning. A drawback of Gaussian processes is their computational cost, with $O(N^3)$ …
