in response to #1725, i added some further documentation on the hyperparameters estimated by a GP, specifically the length-scale$\ell$ and the marginal standard deviation $\sigma$ , including general guidelines on how to interpret each hyperparameter.
what remains is to add the name, support, and simple interpretation of the hyperparameter$z$ to the relevant table in the
roxygen2
doc section ofgp()
, as this bit is unclear to me. i left the two cells in the table that i was unable to fill in marked with ???. i would also appreciate if someone gave a quick look over the information i've provided to ensure correctness, though i mostly took the info straight from the MC-Stan docs and forums.
