Likelihood base class
Likelihood base class, used to defing p(y|f).
All instances use _inverse_ link functions, which can be swapped out. It is
expected that inherriting classes define a default inverse link function
To use this class, inherrit and define missing functionality.
To enable use with EP, ...
Inherriting classes *must* implement:
pdf_link : a bound method which turns the output of the link function into the pdf
logpdf_link : the logarithm of the above
To enable use with Laplace approximation, ...
To enable use with EP, inherriting classes *must* define:
TODO: a suitable derivative function for any parameters of the class
It is also desirable to define:
moments_match_ep : a function to compute the EP moments If this isn't defined, the moments will be computed using 1D quadrature.
For exact Gaussian inference, define ...
To enable use with Laplace approximation, inherriting classes *must* define:
Some derivative functions *AS TODO*
For exact Gaussian inference, define *JH TODO*
