More About
Active Set Selection and Parameter Estimation
For subset of data, subset of regressors, or fully independent conditional
approximation fitting methods (FitMethod
equal to
'sd'
, 'sr'
, or 'fic'
), if you
do not provide the active set (or inducing input set), fitrgp
selects the active set and computes the parameter estimates in a
series of iterations.
In the first iteration, the software uses the initial parameter values in vector η0 = [β0,σ0,θ0] to select an active set A1. It maximizes the GPR marginal log likelihood or its approximation using η0 as the initial values and A1 to compute the new parameter estimates η1. Next, it computes the new log likelihood L1 using η1 and A1.
In the second iteration, the software selects the active set A2 using the parameter values in η1. Then, using η1 as the initial values and A2, it maximizes the GPR marginal log likelihood or its approximation and estimates the new parameter values η2. Then using η2 and A2, computes the new log likelihood value L2.
The following table summarizes the iterations and what is computed at each iteration.
Iteration Number | Active Set | Parameter Vector | Log Likelihood |
---|---|---|---|
1 | A1 | η1 | L1 |
2 | A2 | η2 | L2 |
3 | A3 | η3 | L3 |
… | … | … | … |
The software iterates similarly for a specified number of repetitions.
You can specify the number of replications for active set selection
using the NumActiveSetRepeats
name-value
pair argument.
