function [y, sigsq] = gpfwd(net, x, cninv)
%GPFWD	Forward propagation through Gaussian Process.
%
%	Description
%	Y = GPFWD(NET, X) takes a Gaussian Process data structure NET
%	together  with a matrix X of input vectors, and forward propagates
%	the inputs through the model to generate a matrix Y of output
%	vectors.  Each row of X corresponds to one input vector and each row
%	of Y corresponds to one output vector.  This assumes that the
%	training data (both inputs and targets) has been stored in NET by a
%	call to GPINIT; these are needed to compute the training data
%	covariance matrix.
%
%	[Y, SIGSQ] = GPFWD(NET, X) also generates a column vector SIGSQ of
%	conditional variances (or squared error bars) where each value
%	corresponds to a pattern.
%
%	[Y, SIGSQ] = GPFWD(NET, X, CNINV) uses the pre-computed inverse
%	covariance matrix CNINV in the forward propagation.  This increases
%	efficiency if several calls to GPFWD are made.
