Transform

class tinygp.transforms.Transform(transform: Callable[[Any], Any], kernel: Kernel)

Bases: Kernel

Apply a transformation to the input coordinates of the kernel

Parameters:

• transform – (Callable): A callable object that accepts coordinates as inputs and returns transformed coordinates.

• kernel (Kernel) – The kernel to use in the transformed space.

evaluate(X1: tinygp.helpers.JAXArray, X2: tinygp.helpers.JAXArray) → tinygp.helpers.JAXArray

Evaluate the kernel at a pair of input coordinates

This should be overridden be subclasses to return the kernel-specific value. Two things to note:

1. Users shouldn’t generally call Kernel.evaluate(). Instead, always “call” the kernel instance directly; for example, you can evaluate the Matern-3/2 kernel using Matern32(1.5)(x1, x2), for arrays of input coordinates x1 and x2.

2. When implementing a custom kernel, this method should treat X1 and X2 as single datapoints. In other words, these inputs will typically either be scalars of have shape n_dim, where n_dim is the number of input dimensions, rather than n_data or (n_data, n_dim), and you should let the Kernel vmap magic handle all the broadcasting for you.

evaluate_diag(X: tinygp.helpers.JAXArray) → tinygp.helpers.JAXArray

Evaluate the kernel on its diagonal

The default implementation simply calls Kernel.evaluate() with X as both arguments, but subclasses can use this to make diagonal calcuations more efficient.
