One-Dimensional Likelihoods
-----------------------------

Likelihoods for GPs that are distributions of scalar functions.
(I.e. for a specific :math:`\mathbf x` we expect that :math:`f(\mathbf x) \in \mathbb{R}`.)

One-dimensional likelihoods should extend :obj:`gpytoch.likelihoods._OneDimensionalLikelihood` to
reduce the variance when computing approximate GP objective functions.
(Variance reduction is accomplished by using 1D Gauss-Hermite quadrature rather than MC-integration).

Multi-Dimensional Likelihoods
-----------------------------

Likelihoods for GPs that are distributions of vector-valued functions.
(I.e. for a specific :math:`\mathbf x` we expect that :math:`f(\mathbf x) \in \mathbb{R}^t`,
where :math:`t` is the number of output dimensions.)
