    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

    Inspiration for implementing the Gaussian process methods came from
    the work of Carl Rasmussen and Chris Williams.  I also benefited from
    looking at Carl Rasmussen's implementation.

    The sampling method for top-level hyperparameters using adaptive
    rejection sampling, and the features allowing cpu time to be stored,
    displayed, and used to control the number of iterations, are also
    based on work by Carl Edward Rasmussen.

    Thanks also to Tim Howells, Dirk Husmeier, Marcus Lee, David MacKay,
    Neil Montgomery, Tony Plate, Jeff Rosenthal, Ricard Ferran Sans, and
    Chris Williams for comments on the documentation, for testing the
    programs, and for finding bugs.
