Data for GP model with incorporated local models

local models

GP model identification
Nonlinear dynamic system identification with GP models (Gaussian processes models): small number of parameters measure of confidence in its prediction (used in e.g. predictive control) prior knowledge incorporation (e.g. linear local models)
