Gaussian Processes for Blazar Variability Studies

Gaussian Processes for Blazar Variability Studies

This article briefly introduces Gaussian processes as a new approach for modelling time series in the field of blazar physics. In the second part of the paper, recent results from an application of GP modelling to the multi-wavelength light curves of the blazar PKS 1502+106 are discussed.
