  Description     : GNU R package "tgp: Bayesian treed Gaussian process models"

  r-cran-tgp is a CRAN package. The CRAN description of the package
  follows:

  Bayesian nonstationary, semiparametric nonlinear regression and design by
  treed Gaussian processes (GPs) with jumps to the limiting linear model (LLM).
  Special cases also implemented include Bayesian linear models, CART, treed
  linear models, stationary separable and isotropic GPs, and GP single-index
  models.  Provides 1-d and 2-d plotting functions (with projection and slice
  capabilities) and tree drawing, designed for visualization of tgp-class
  output.  Sensitivity analysis and multi-resolution models are supported.
  Sequential experimental design and adaptive sampling functions are also
  provided, including ALM, ALC, and expected improvement. The latter supports
  derivative-free optimization of noisy black-box functions.
