Research direction

Start with Chapter 10 of the Stan User Guide and locate the custom code and deprecated cov_exp_quad() examples. Compare them with gp_exp_quad_cov() and review the two linked Stan examples for the suggested convenience functions. Done means the chapter uses the current function and incorporates any appropriate examples.
