MAGP (Maximum Analysis of Gaussian Processes)

is a MATLAB toolbox for computing the distribution of the maximum of a Gaussian process.
See example results: magp_example.html.

This program is the practical version of the results presented in Mercadier (2006) where it is assumed that the Gaussian processes are regular in some sense.

This code deals with centered but non necessarily stationary Gaussian processes. It could be extended to non centered Gaussian processes.

This toolbox is based on the routine rind written by Brodtkorb (2004) available in the WAFO toolbox. Consequently, if you want to use MAGP, you need to download WAFO.

REQUEST CONFIGURATION:

WAFO versions exist for the computer types pcwin, sol2 and alpha (type lower(computer) at the Matlab prompt to find out your computer type).
MAGP is given here under the pcwin version. However, it can be easily extended to sol2 or alpha type.
