    The Q-Exponential Process Latent Variable Model (QEPLVM) class for unsupervised learning.
    The class supports

    1. Point estimates for latent X when prior_x = None
    2. MAP Inference for X when prior_x is not None and inference == 'map'
    3. Q-Exponential variational distribution q(X) when prior_x is not None and inference == 'variational'
