Description
The ParameterizedFunctionBase and ConditionalMapBase classes define abstract interfaces for general vector-valued functions and invertible transformations, respectively. When using MParT as a research tool, users may want extend these interfaces with their own child classes. This is possible in c++, but not in the other languages.
At least in python, supporting these types of extensions is possible with pybind11 (see the pybind11 docs on overriding virtual functions).

Research direction
Start by locating the Python bindings for ParameterizedFunctionBase and ConditionalMapBase and compare them with the existing C++ interfaces. Read pybind11's documentation on overriding virtual functions to determine the required binding approach. Done means Python users can define child ConditionalMap classes and use them as invertible transformations, with coverage for the new behavior.
