"""Introduction
^^^^^^^^^^^^
The likelihood is :math:`p(y|f,X)` which is how well we will predict
target values given inputs :math:`X` and our latent function :math:`f`
(:math:`y` without noise). Marginal likelihood :math:`p(y|X)`, is the
same as likelihood except we marginalize out the model :math:`f`. The
importance of likelihoods in Gaussian Processes is in determining the
'best' values of kernel and noise hyperparamters to relate known,
observed and unobserved data. The purpose of optimizing a model
(e.g. :py:class:`GPy.models.GPRegression`) is to determine the 'best'
hyperparameters i.e. those that minimize negative log marginal
likelihood.

Most likelihood classes inherit directly from
:py:class:`GPy.likelihoods.likelihood`, although an intermediary class
:py:class:`GPy.likelihoods.mixed_noise.MixedNoise` is used by
:py:class:`GPy.likelihoods.multioutput_likelihood`.
