Multi-output Gaussian process regression has become an important tool in uncertainty quantification, for building emulators of computationally expensive simulators, and other areas such as multi-task machine learning. We present a holistic development of tensor-variate Gaussian process (TvGP) regression, appropriate for arbitrary dimensional outputs where a Kronecker product structure is appropriate for the covariance. We show how two common approaches to problems with two-dimensional output, outer product emulators (OPE) and parallel partial emulators (PPE), are special cases of TvGP regression and hence can be extended to higher output dimensions. Focusing on the important special case of matrix output, we investigate the relative performance of these two approaches. The key distinction is the additional dependence structure assumed by the OPE, and we demonstrate when this is advantageous through two case studies, including application to a spatial-temporal influenza simulator.
