Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Constraint basis construction. Require: A (a k n matrix of rank k) ... Algorithm 2 CB(A). Constraint basis construction for non-overlapping subsets of constraints. ... Algorithm 3 Sampling X N µ, Q 1 subject to AX = b. ... Algorithm 4 Sampling X N µ, Q 1 subject to AX = b and Y = y where Y N BX, σ2 Y I .
Open Source Code Yes timings are obtained through R [25] implementations, available in the CB R package [6]
Open Datasets No The paper uses "simulated data" and does not provide concrete access information (link, DOI, repository, or formal citation) for a publicly available or open dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not provide specific dataset split information (exact percentages, sample counts, citations to predefined splits, or detailed splitting methodology) needed to reproduce the data partitioning. It mentions using "simulated data" and "randomly selected locations" without specifying splits.
Hardware Specification Yes run on an i Mac Pro computer with a 3.2 GHz Intel Xeon processor.
Software Dependencies Yes timings are obtained through R [25] implementations, available in the CB R package [6]
Experiment Setup Yes The observations are simulated using the parameters κ2 = 0.5, φ = 1 and α = 2 or α = 4. ... Following [13], we choose a = 0.01 and σ2 = 10 4 and generate 50 observations at randomly selected locations in [0, 4] [0, 4] and predict the function f at N 2 = 202 regularly spaced locations in the square. Independent Matérn priors with α = 4 are assumed for f1 and f2 ... a regular triangulation of an extended domain [ 2, 6] [ 2, 6] ... only enforce the divergence constraint at every third node for the SPDE model.
