Mechanistic Hierarchical Gaussian Processes.

Journal of the American Statistical Association

Wheeler MW, Dunson DB, Pandalai SP, Baker BA, Herring AH.

The statistics literature on functional data analysis focuses primarily on flexible black-box approaches, which are designed to allow individual curves to have essentially any shape while characterizing variability. Such methods typically cannot incorporate mechanistic information, which is commonly expressed...
