Abstract
In this paper, the connection between the Matérn kernel and scale mixtures of squared exponential kernels is explored. It is shown that the Matérn kernel can be approximated by a finite scale mixture of squared exponential kernels through a quadrature approximation which in turn allows for (i) state space approximations of the Matérn kernel for arbitrary smoothness parameters using established state space approximations of the squared exponential kernel and (ii) exact calculation of the Bayesian quadrature weights for the approximate kernel under a Gaussian measure. The method is demonstrated in inference in a log-Gaussian Cox process as well as in approximating a Gaussian integral arising from a financial problem using Bayesian quadrature.
