treegp 1.0.1

Overview

treegp is a python gaussian process code that perform 1D and 2D interpolation.

treegp has some special features compared to other available Gaussian Processes codes:

• Hyperparameters estimation will scale in O(N log(N)) with the the 2-points correlation function estimation compared to O(N^3) with the classical maximum likelihood.

• Gaussian process interpolation can be performed around a mean function

• A tool is provided to compute the mean function (meanify)

treegp was originally developed for Point Spread Function interpolation within Piff. There is a specific article that describes the math used in treegp in the context of modelling astrometric shifts of the Subaru Telescope due to atmospheric turbulences. This article can be found here.

Installation

The easiest way to install is usually:

pip install treegp

which will install the latest released version.

If you would instead like to install the development version, you can do so via:

git clone https://github.com/PFLeget/treegp.git
cd treegp/
python setup.py install
