GEMSS: Generalization Error Minimization in SubSampling

GEMSS is an R package for optimal subdata selection in large-scale Gaussian Process (GP) regression. Accelerated by C++ (via RcppArmadillo), the algorithm sequentially identifies and selects the most informative data points to minimize generalization error, enabling efficient surrogate modeling for massive datasets.
