  <dc:title>Mapping-Based Additive Gaussian Process Models</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package magp version 0.12.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Fits mapping-based additive Gaussian process models for
    experiments in which each component has both a quantitative level and a
    position in an ordered sequence. Two model structures are available: a
    compact two-dimensional mapping and a full mapping with one fewer
    dimension than the number of components. Both models support parameter
    estimation, point prediction, and plug-in predictive uncertainty. Input
    checks validate the sequence data and apply consistent scaling to the
    quantitative inputs. Computationally intensive covariance and gradient
    calculations are implemented in C++ with 'Rcpp'. Initial-design functions
    combine a space-filling Latin hypercube with sequence permutations. The
    sequence portion can be generated randomly or optimized with simulated
    annealing or space-filling threshold accepting. Expected improvement can
    be optimized over both parts of the input, and a sequential interface
    supports Bayesian optimization of an expensive user-supplied objective.
    An integrated workflow can generate the initial design, evaluate the
    objective, and continue the sequential search in one call. The model was
    introduced by Xiao et al.
