A neurocomputational model for cocaine addiction.

abstract：:In this letter, we develop a gaussian process model for clustering. The variances of predictive values in gaussian processes learned from a training data are shown to comprise an estimate of the support of a probability density function. The constructed variance function is then applied to construct a set of contours ...
