SLIDE 15 Bayesian Numerical Integration
Bayesian Quadrature
1 Place a Gaussian Process prior (assumed w.l.o.g. to have zero mean). 2 Evaluate the integrand f at several locations {xi}n
i=1 on X. We get a
Gaussian Process with mean and covariance function: mn(x) = k(x, X)k(X, X)−1f (X) kn(x, x′) = k(x, x′) − k(x, X)k(X, X)−1k(X, x′)
3 Taking the pushforward through the integral operator, we get:
En[Π[f ]] = ˆ ΠBQ[f ] := Π[k(·, X)]k(X, X)−1f (X) Vn[Π[f ]] = Π¯ Π[k] − Π[k(·, X)]k(X, X)−1Π[k(X, ·)].
