An MB can be associated with a wireless signal emitter (WSE), and can include a mean signal strength value (SSV) and a standard deviation of SSVs for each WSE associated with the MB. The computing device can designate a WSE. The computing device can determine a collection of the MBs associated with the designated WSE. The computing device can train a mean Gaussian process for the designated WSE based on the mean SSV and the standard deviation of SSVs of the collection of MBs. The mean Gaussian process can be associated with a covariance matrix having a diagonal entry based on a standard deviation of SSVs of an MB in the collection of MBs. The computing device can provide an estimated location based on the trained mean Gaussian process."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Calculating mean wireless signal strengths using a gaussian process approach incorporating predictive standard deviations","description":"Disclosed are apparatus and methods for providing outputs; e.g., location estimates, based on measurement bins (MBs) determined by a computing device.
