Bayesian Gaussian process regression. Calls tgp::bgp() from package tgp.

Predictions return the posterior predictive mean and the square root of the predictive kriging variance as standard error. Several parameters that appear in both tgp::bgp() and predict.tgp are prefixed with predict_ to distinguish the predict-time variants (e.g. predict_BTE, predict_R).

The learner always trains without collecting training-location predictive summaries and always predicts with pointwise kriging variances only. The corresponding upstream options are therefore not exposed because their effects are discarded by the mlr3 wrapper.

Creates a new instance of this learner.
