 * This inference method computes the Gaussian Method exactly using matrix
 * equations.
 *
 * \f[
 * L = cholesky(K + \sigma^{2}I)
 * \f]
 *
 * \f$L\f$ is the cholesky decomposition of \f$K\f$, the covariance matrix, plus
 * a diagonal matrix with entries \f$\sigma^{2}\f$, the observation noise.
 *
 * \f[
 * \boldsymbol{\alpha} = L^{T} \backslash(L \backslash \boldsymbol{y}})
 * \f]
 *
 * where \f$L\f$ is the matrix mentioned above, \f$\boldsymbol{y}\f$ are the
 * labels, and \f$\backslash\f$ is an operator (\f$x = A \backslash B\f$ means
 * \f$Ax=B\f$.)
 *
 * NOTE: The Gaussian Likelihood Function must be used for this inference
 * method.
