FastGaSP: Fast and Exact Computation of Gaussian Stochastic Process

Implements fast and exact computation of Gaussian stochastic process with the Matern kernel using forward filtering and backward smoothing algorithm. It includes efficient implementations of the inverse Kalman filter, with applications such as estimating particle interaction functions. These tools support models with or without noise. Additionally, the package offers algorithms for fast parameter estimation in latent factor models, where the factor loading matrix is orthogonal, and latent processes are modeled by Gaussian processes.
