    Parameters
    ----------
    regr : string or callable, optional
        A regression function returning an array of outputs of the linear
        regression functional basis. The number of observations n_samples
        should be greater than the size p of this basis.
        Default assumes a simple constant regression trend.
        Available built-in regression models are::

            'constant', 'linear', 'quadratic'

    corr : string or callable, optional
        A stationary autocorrelation function returning the autocorrelation
        between two points x and x'.
        Default assumes a squared-exponential autocorrelation model.
        Built-in correlation models are::

            'absolute_exponential', 'squared_exponential',
            'generalized_exponential', 'cubic', 'linear'

    beta0 : double array_like, optional
        The regression weight vector to perform Ordinary Kriging (OK).
        Default assumes Universal Kriging (UK) so that the vector beta of
        regression weights is estimated using the maximum likelihood
        principle.

    storage_mode : string, optional
        A string specifying whether the Cholesky decomposition of the
        correlation matrix should be stored in the class (storage_mode =
        'full') or not (storage_mode = 'light').
        Default assumes storage_mode = 'full', so that the
        Cholesky decomposition of the correlation matrix is stored.
        This might be a useful parameter when one is not interested in the
        MSE and only plan to estimate the BLUP, for which the correlation
        matrix is not required.

    verbose : boolean, optional
        A boolean specifying the verbose level.
        Default is verbose = False.

    theta0 : double array_like, optional
        An array with shape (n_features, ) or (1, ).
        The parameters in the autocorrelation model.
        If thetaL and thetaU are also specified, theta0 is considered as
        the starting point for the maximum likelihood estimation of the
        best set of parameters.
        Default assumes isotropic autocorrelation model with theta0 = 1e-1.

    thetaL : double array_like, optional
        An array with shape matching theta0's.
        Lower bound on the autocorrelation parameters for maximum
        likelihood estimation.
        Default is None, so that it skips maximum likelihood estimation and
        it uses theta0.

    thetaU : double array_like, optional
        An array with shape matching theta0's.
        Upper bound on the autocorrelation parameters for maximum
        likelihood estimation.
        Default is None, so that it skips maximum likelihood estimation and
        it uses theta0.

    normalize : boolean, optional
        Input X and observations y are centered and reduced wrt
        means and standard deviations estimated from the n_samples
        observations provided.
        Default is normalize = True so that data is normalized to ease
        maximum likelihood estimation.

    nugget : double or ndarray, optional
        Introduce a nugget effect to allow smooth predictions from noisy
        data.  If nugget is an ndarray, it must be the same length as the
        number of data points used for the fit.
        The nugget is added to the diagonal of the assumed training covariance;
        in this way it acts as a Tikhonov regularization in the problem.  In
        the special case of the squared exponential correlation function, the
        nugget mathematically represents the variance of the input values.
        Default assumes a nugget close to machine precision for the sake of
        robustness (nugget = 10. * MACHINE_EPSILON).

    optimizer : string, optional
        A string specifying the optimization algorithm to be used.
        Default uses 'fmin_cobyla' algorithm from scipy.optimize.
        Available optimizers are::

            'fmin_cobyla', 'Welch'

        'Welch' optimizer is dued to Welch et al., see reference [WBSWM1992]_.
        It consists in iterating over several one-dimensional optimizations
        instead of running one single multi-dimensional optimization.

    random_start : int, optional
        The number of times the Maximum Likelihood Estimation should be
        performed from a random starting point.
        The first MLE always uses the specified starting point (theta0),
        the next starting points are picked at random according to an
        exponential distribution (log-uniform on [thetaL, thetaU]).
        Default does not use random starting point (random_start = 1).

    random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional (default=None)
        The generator used to shuffle the sequence of coordinates of theta in
        the Welch optimizer. If int, random_state is the seed used by the
        random number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the
        random number generator; If None, the random number generator is the
        RandomState instance used by `np.random`.

    Attributes
    ----------
    theta_ : array
        Specified theta OR the best set of autocorrelation parameters (the \
        sought maximizer of the reduced likelihood function).

    reduced_likelihood_function_value_ : array
        The optimal reduced likelihood function value.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> from sklearn.gaussian_process import GaussianProcess
    >>> X = np.array([[1., 3., 5., 6., 7., 8.]]).T
    >>> y = (X * np.sin(X)).ravel()
    >>> gp = GaussianProcess(theta0=0.1, thetaL=.001, thetaU=1.)
    >>> gp.fit(X, y)                                      # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
    GaussianProcess(beta0=None...
            ...
