ABSTRACT

A new method for modeling functions that intersect given points is developed and demonstrated. This method yields a generally non-Gaussian probability density of y given x that has properties which are often desired in practice. It is shown that this density can have a smoother mean function and a variance which is never larger than that of a classic Gaussian process density.
