Research direction

Start by reading the existing TestTimeAugmentation implementation and the MC-Dropout uncertainty approach. Clarify the API and expected behavior for aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty before choosing how the inferer should combine them. Done means the inferer supports both uncertainty types with tests covering the expected outputs.
