Can you give more details about your system and environment setup and exactly which steps you took to install.

While it's true that there is an issue here, this report is not it. Yes, you need to import `Metric` if you want to copy and paste the `__repr__`, just...

In that step, we're *initializing* the model parameters. I agree that it's a bit convoluted to initialize at the truth, but it was the easiest option for the tutorial. They...

@apsabelhaus: This was chosen as an implementation detail really, but I understand that it is a bit strange! I don't have much time these days to commit, but I'd love...

The general Matern is not part of george since it requires [boost](https://www.boost.org/). If you have boost installed, you should be able to get that implementation by cloning george, renaming the...

There isn't anything like that implemented in George. In most cases, you'll probably need to integrate the kernel yourself and provide a custom kernel if it can't be written using...

Thanks Boris! This is interesting and I can see the use but I don't think that it's right to call this "yerr" because it's more like the measurement "covariance". I'd...

The HODLR solver is stochastic so it can be quite inaccurate especially when the system is not well conditioned. Generally this doesn't have a huge effect on hyperparameter inference, but...

The files kernel.py, kernel.h, parser.h are all automatically generated and the IDs will be consistent. A good place to start would be: ```bash rm -rf build george/kernels.py george/include/george/parser.h george/include/george/kernels.h python...

Absolutely. There is one example [here](http://george.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/mixture/). More generally, you can read more [here](http://george.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/kernels/#common-parameters) and [here](http://george.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/kernels/#stationary-kernels).
