Description
Currently there are several different multi-output kernels:
IndependentMOKernel, LatentFactorMOKernel, IntrinsicCoregionMOKernel, LinearMixingModelKernel.
There was some debate about renaming
LinearMixingModelKernel
LinearMixingMOKernel
because
- A kernel is not a model so we should drop the
Model. - Currently the majority of MO kernels have the
MOin the name, and we should be consistent.
The discussion did not belong on that PR, so teased out into its own issue here.

Research direction
Start by locating the definitions and usages of IndependentMOKernel, LatentFactorMOKernel, IntrinsicCoregionMOKernel, and LinearMixingModelKernel. Review the naming discussion in pull request 310 before deciding on the consistent names. Done means the multi-output kernel names follow one convention and all affected references are updated.
