Description

Maybe I am missing the point but it feels like there is a discrepancy between LatentGP and AbstractGP although they kinda behave the same.
I don't understand why the noise should be built in LatentGP and not in LatentFiniteGP ?

Research direction

Start by comparing the definitions and behavior of LatentGP, LatentFiniteGP, and AbstractGP, focusing on where noise is constructed. Determine whether the discrepancy reflects an intentional design choice or requires an API change; the issue is complete only once that design question is resolved and the affected behavior is consistently defined.
