Package: gpss Title: Gaussian Processes for Social Science Version: 1.0.3 Date: 2026-04-01 Authors@R: c(person("Soonhong", "Cho", , "tnsehdtm@gmail.com", role = c("aut")), person("Doeun", "Kim", , "doeun2@ucla.edu", role = c("aut"), comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0003-4789-6599")), person("Chad", "Hazlett", , "chazlett@ucla.edu", role = c("aut", "cre"))) 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) .
