Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We demonstrate our algorithm on several problems and show quantifiable improvement in both speed and performance relative to models based on the Gaussian process.

Pseudocode No The paper contains mathematical derivations and equations but does not include any pseudocode or clearly labeled algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not contain any statement about releasing the source code for the described methodology, nor does it provide a link to a code repository.
Open Datasets Yes Second, we test on the motorcycle dataset of Silverman et al. [21].
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions using various datasets (synthetic, currency exchanges, motorcycle dataset) but does not specify any training, validation, or test splits (e.g., percentages, sample counts, or predefined split references) needed for reproduction.
Hardware Specification No The paper mentions implementation details ('implemented in MATLAB', 'optimized c code') but does not provide any specific details about the hardware (e.g., CPU, GPU models, memory) used to run the experiments.
Software Dependencies No Both algorithms were implemented in the MATLAB programming language, with the likelihood functions for the GWP implemented in heavily optimized c code in an effort to ensure a fair competition.
Experiment Setup Yes In all experiments, we use the squared-exponential kernel k(y, y ) = exp( c / 2 y y 2). We set the kernel scale c by maximum likelihood for each model.
