Development
1

Hello @fonnesbeck @bwengals I would like to apply for the GSoC project about spatial modelling. I would be particularly interested in the implementation of the nearest neighbor GP method. here you can find the draft of my proposal, can you tell me how to improve it and if the amount of time and timeline proposed is fine or the project should be completed in less time or it should be more ambitious in the 350 hours? link to the proposal: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QJSNtkJ3voCHblDIEBgrK172aTmhcoF_/view?usp=sharing
