Description: Sequential Monte Carlo inference for fully Bayesian
        Gaussian process (GP) regression and classification models by
        particle learning (PL).  The sequential nature of inference and
        the active learning (AL) hooks provided facilitate thrifty
        sequential design (by entropy) and optimization (by
        improvement) for classification and regression models,
        respectively.  This package essentially provides a generic PL
        interface, and functions (arguments to the interface) which
        implement the GP models and AL heuristics.  Functions for a
        special, linked, regression/classification GP model and an
        integrated expected conditional improvement (IECI) statistic is
        provides for optimization in the presence of unknown
        constraints.  Separable and isotropic Gaussian, and
        single-index correlation functions are supported.  See the
        examples section of ?plgp and demo(package="plgp") for an index
        of demos
