A Google search for ‘Gaussian Process Regression’ returns some intimidating material for a non-statistician. After filtering away the obscure stuff I’ll never understand and digging around within the code that makes GPR happen, I’m proud to say that I feel I’ve gotten my arms around the basics of GPR. The only way to confirm if this is true or not is for me to try to explain it - so that’s what I plan to do in this post.

I decided to do something a little bit different with this post and show how R can be used in tandem with a traditional engineering CAD program. Together they comprise a streamlined and repeatable workflow that I’ve tried to leverage on my job when it makes sense to do so. Solidworks is a 3d CAD program that is used commonly in industry. One powerful feature that I don’t see used that much is the Design Study module.
