Quasi-periodic Gaussian processes for stellar activity: From physical to kernel parameters

چکیده
ABSTRACT In recent years, Gaussian Process (GP) regression has become widely used to analyse stellar and exoplanet time-series data sets. For spotted stars, the most popular GP covariance function is quasi-periodic (QP) kernel, whose hyperparameters of have a plausible interpretation in terms physical properties star spots. this paper, we test reliability by modelling simulated using spot model QP GP, recently proposed plus cosine (QPC) comparing posterior distributions input parameters model. We find excellent agreement between rotation period QPC period, very good decay time-scale length scale squared exponential term. also compare derived from light radial velocity (RV) curves for given star, finding that evolution time-scales are agreement. However, harmonic complexity while displaying no clear correlation with our simulations, systematically higher RV than light-curve data. Finally, investigate impact noise time-sampling on case RVs. Our results indicate coverage more important total number points, characteristics govern complexity.

Kernel Distillation for Gaussian Processes
Gaussian processes (GPs) are flexible models that can capture complex structure in large-scale dataset due to their non-parametric nature. However, the usage of GPs in real-world application is limited due to their high computational cost at inference time. In this paper, we introduce a new framework, kernel distillation, for kernel matrix approximation. The idea adopts from knowledge distillat...
متن کاملMulti-Kernel Gaussian Processes
Although Gaussian process inference is usually formulated for a single output, in many machine learning problems the objective is to infer multiple tasks jointly, possibly exploring the dependencies between them to improve results. Real world examples of this problem include ore mining where the objective is to infer the concentration of several chemical components to assess the ore quality. Si...
متن کاملProduct Kernel Interpolation for Scalable Gaussian Processes
Recent work shows that inference for Gaussian processes can be performed efficiently using iterative methods that rely only on matrix-vector multiplications (MVMs). Structured Kernel Interpolation (SKI) exploits these techniques by deriving approximate kernels with very fast MVMs. Unfortunately, such strategies suffer badly from the curse of dimensionality. We develop a new technique for MVM ba...
متن کاملThe Rate of Entropy for Gaussian Processes
In this paper, we show that in order to obtain the Tsallis entropy rate for stochastic processes, we can use the limit of conditional entropy, as it was done for the case of Shannon and Renyi entropy rates. Using that we can obtain Tsallis entropy rate for stationary Gaussian processes. Finally, we derive the relation between Renyi, Shannon and Tsallis entropy rates for stationary Gaussian proc...
متن کاملAnalytical predictions of non-Gaussian distribution parameters for stellar plasmas
Stimulated by the recent debate on the physical relevance and on the predictivity of q-Gaussian formalism, we present specific analytical expressions for the parameters characterizing non-Gaussian distributions, such as the nonextensive parameter q, expressions that we have proposed for different physical systems, an important example being plasmas in the stellar cores.
