## 1. Regression models: the basics
Gaussian process is a Beysian technique. Real data is very messy and non-linear unlike textbook examples of regression. Gaussian process regressions work very well for that.

1. Introduction to probabilistic modeling
- How can you model complex things using a Gaussian (normal) distributions?
2. What is a Gaussian process?
- An overview of the features and properties of Gaussian processes.
3. Building Gaussian process models
- Selecting your covariance function to suit your problem.
4. Fitting Gaussian process models
- How you fit your GP depends on what you need it to do, and how much data you have.
5. Model checking and prediction
- Does my GP work as advertised? What can I do with it?
