Description

Hi, similar to my other issue #61 , I wanted to propose adding a GP classification example. It can fit into Non-Gaussian Likelihoods or a different page.

I'd written a tutorial for Pyro: https://github.com/prog-ml/prog-ml.github.io/blob/main/notebooks/gaussian_processes/pyro-binary-classification.ipynb

that can be easily adapted for tinyGP.

Please let me know if this is of interest. My students or I could create a PR for this.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Pyro notebook, pyro-binary-classification.ipynb, and compare it with the tinyGP documentation around Non-Gaussian Likelihoods. Adapt the tutorial for tinyGP and add it as a documentation example; it is done when the classification example is available in the documentation and runs successfully.
