  <dc:title>Gaussian Processes for Social Science</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package gpss version 1.0.3</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides Gaussian process (GP) regression tools for social
    science inference problems.  GPs combine flexible nonparametric
    regression with principled uncertainty quantification: rather than
    committing to a single model fit, the posterior reflects lesser
    knowledge at the edge of or beyond the observed data, where other
    approaches become highly model-dependent.  The package reduces
    user-chosen hyperparameters from three to zero and supplies
    convenience functions for regression discontinuity (gp_rdd()),
    interrupted time-series (gp_its()), and general GP fitting
    (gpss(), gp_train(), gp_predict()).  Methods are described in
    Cho, Kim, and Hazlett (2026) &lt;doi:10.1017/pan.2026.10032&gt;.</dc:description>
