Description

Hello,

I guess the 3 integral kernels, are integral kernels over a specific function prior (e.g. RBF-Integral Kernels?).
I.e. there could be an integral kernel for every kernel that can be integrated over.

For what kernel is this the integral kernel?
If you add more documentation to the kernel and the code it would be easier to contribute more (other) integral kernels.

Research direction

Start by locating the three integral-kernel implementations and the surrounding kernel documentation in GPy. Determine which underlying function kernel each integral kernel represents, then document that relationship and clarify how the code supports adding other integral kernels. Done means the three existing kernels and their intended use are understandable to contributors.
