Gaussian Model

• is a probabilistic model for representing normally distributed subpopulations within an overall population
• can be used as a probability distribution over possible functions that fit a set of points

GPR - Types of Models

• Univariate Normal/Gaussian/Gauss/Laplace-Gauss Distribution/Model/Process (Bell Curve) - single-variable uni-modal Gaussian model
• Multivariate Gaussian/Normal Distribution/Model/Process (MVN) - multi-variable uni-modal Gaussian model
• Gaussian/Normal Mixture Distribution/Model/Process (GMM/NMM) - Bimodal/Trimodal/Multimodal - multi-modal Gaussian model
• Multivariate Gaussian/Normal Mixture Distribution/Model/Process - multi-variable multi-model Gaussian model
