This book discusses the relevance of probabilistic Supervised Learning, to the pursuit of automated and reliable prediction of an unknown that is in a state of relationship with another variable. The book provides methods for secured mechanistic learning of the function that represents this relationship between the output and input variables, where said learning is undertaken within the remit of real-world information that can be messy in different ways. The generic solution to the problem of secured supervised learning amidst real-world messiness, lies in treating the sought inter-variable relation as a (function-valued) random variable, which, being random, is ascribed a probability distribution. Then recalling that distributions on the space of functions are given by stochastic processes, the sought function is proposed to be a sample function of a stochastic process. This process is chosen as one that imposes minimal constraints on the sought function – identified as a Gaussian Process (GP) in the book. To help with the background, the book includes reviews on stochastic processes and basic probability theory. This will render the first half of the book useful for students across disciplines, while the latter half will be appreciated by students of numerate subjects at the postgraduate level or higher, including students of computational sciences, statistics and mathematics.
