The nuclear equation of state (EOS) characterizes the properties of matter as a function of density, temperature, and proton fraction, and thus connects microscopic strong interaction calculations with descriptions of compact objects in astrophysics. Focusing on the low-energy regime, chiral effective field theory (EFT) provides a systematically improvable description of nuclear systems. With Gaussian processes (GPs) we introduce a tool to realize non-parametric evaluations of the EOS, considering correlations along independent variables. Besides constructing an emulator we use GPs for a statistical description of chiral expansion coefficients and apply Bayesian statistics to assess the EFT truncation errors. The evaluation of observables with GPs enables us to further calculate derivatives. With that we are able to provide the pressure and other thermodynamic quantities of pure neutron matter and symmetric nuclear matter with propagated chiral truncation uncertainties.
