Inflation predicts that the Universe is spatially flat. The Planck 2018
measurements of the cosmic microwave background anisotropy favour a spatially
closed universe at more than 2$sigma$ confidence level. We use model
independent methods to study the issue of cosmic curvature. The method
reconstructs the Hubble parameter $H(z)$ from cosmic chronometers data with the
Gaussian process method. The distance modulus is then calculated with the
reconstructed function $H(z)$ and fitted by type Ia supernovae data. Combining
the cosmic chronometers and type Ia supernovae data, we obtain
$Omega_{k0}h^2=0.102pm 0.066$ which is consistent with a spatially flat
universe at the 2$sigma$ confidence level. By adding the redshift space
distortions data to the type Ia supernovae data with a proposed novel model
independent method, we obtain $Omega_{k0}h^2=0.117^{+0.058}_{-0.045}$ and no
deviation from $Lambda$CDM model is found.
