| contents | This paper investigates a recursive formulation of auto-regressive multi-fidelity Gaussian process regression in the challenging setting of noisy and non-nested high- and low-fidelity data. We propose a decoupled optimization strategy based on the expectation-maximization algorithm, which exploits the structure of the recursive model. In particular, we derive closed-form update formulas when the scaling factor is modeled as a parametric linear predictor. This approach is compared with the fully coupled likelihood maximization of the classical non-recursive formulation introduced by Kennedy and O'Hagan. A series of benchmark experiments, covering applications of increasing complexity, highlights the performance of both approaches. The results demonstrate that the proposed recursive strategy significantly reduces training time, especially when large low-fidelity datasets are available, while maintaining competitive predictive accuracy and uncertainty estimation. |
