GP

GP is a common acronym that can denote several terms depending on context. Among the most widely used are General Practitioner, Grand Prix, Gross Profit, and Gaussian Process. Each usage belongs to a distinct domain, including medicine, sports, business, and statistics.

General Practitioner refers to a medical doctor who provides primary care across a broad range of conditions. GPs diagnose and treat common illnesses, manage chronic diseases, perform preventive care, and coordinate referrals to specialists. They are typically the first point of contact in primary health care.

Grand Prix is a high-profile motor racing event, a term from French meaning "great prize." It designates the premier races in many series, most famously Formula One. Grand Prix races are held on graded circuits and contribute to season championships.

Gross Profit is a business metric defined as revenue minus the cost of goods sold. It measures the profitability of core products and services before operating expenses. Gross profit differs from net profit, which accounts for all other expenses, taxes, and interest.

Gaussian Process is a collection of random variables with a joint Gaussian distribution, used as a nonparametric approach to Bayesian inference and regression. In machine learning, it provides probabilistic predictions with uncertainty estimates and is defined by a mean function and a covariance kernel.
