Original Kurzfassung:
This paper presents a greedy Bayesian experimental design criterion for heteroscedastic Gaussian
process models. The criterion is based on the Fisher information and is optimal in the sense of
minimizing parameter uncertainty for likelihood based estimators. We demonstrate the validity
of the criterion under different noise regimes and present experimental results from a rabies
simulator to demonstrate the effectiveness of the resulting approximately optimal designs.
