Description
Using a “black box” likelihood function (numpy)
Notebook url
Issue description
The updates done as part of #28 changed quite a few of the functions so that the text no longer matches the code. @rayhagimoto has left a very useful comment on this. There is no longer a finite difference calculation, in spite of what the text says.
Proposed solution
The text needs updating to be consistent with the code changes. And consistent with the original notebook on which this was based, there should be a finite-difference example added.
If I get some time I'll look at this, but in the meantime I'm noting this as an issue.

Research direction
Open the linked Black box external likelihood notebook and compare its explanatory text with the current code. Use the linked original notebook as a reference for the missing finite-difference example, then verify that the narrative matches the implemented functions and that the example is present and runnable.
