Gaussian processes refer to stochastic processes whose realization consists of normally distributed random variables, with the additional property that any finite collection of these random variables have a multivariate normal distribution. The machinery of Gaussian processes can be employed in regression and classification problems.

What does it mean that a Gaussian process is 'infinite dimensional?'
I have glossed over this phrase many times without really understanding what it means. According to Wikipedia - Gaussian process
Gaussian processes can be seen as an infinite-dimensional generalizati …
