gpflowr (jee-pee-flower) is a simple R import of the GPflow python package for fitting Gaussian process models using Google's TensorFlow library.
The package is a very thin wrapper around a reticulate import of GPflow. The package provides a few convenience functions, but still requires some knowledge of python to use.
gpflowr
isn't yet on CRAN, and also depends on GPflow and a version of reticulate
that isn't on CRAN. Once you've installed GPflow, you can install gpflowr
like this:
devtools::install_github('rstudio/reticulate')
devtools::install_github('goldingn/gpflowr')
