Gaussian Process Example
------------------------
Figure 8.10

An example of Gaussian process regression. The upper-left panel shows three
functions drawn from an unconstrained Gaussian process with squared-exponential
covari- ance of bandwidth h = 1.0. The upper-right panel adds two constraints,
and shows the 2-sigma contours of the constrained function space. The
lower-left panel shows the function space constrained by the points with error
bars. The lower-right panel shows the function space constrained by 20 noisy
points drawn from f(x) = cos(x).
