lsqfitgp
========

This is the documentation of the Python module :mod:`lsqfitgp`. It provides a
simple but powerful interface to use Gaussian processes for inference. The code
is open source, available on `github
<https://github.com/Gattocrucco/lsqfitgp>`_ under the `GNU General Public
License <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html>`_.

Gaussian processes are a statistical tool for fitting unknown functions. If you
want to know more about Gaussian processes, the book `Gaussian Processes for
Machine Learning <http://gaussianprocess.org/gpml/>`_ is a good reference
available for free. However, understanding the technical details is not
necessary to use the basic functionality of the module.

To start, read the :ref:`installation` section, and then :ref:`sine`. To report
bugs or request features, `open an issue
<https://github.com/Gattocrucco/lsqfitgp/issues>`_ on github.
