 * Information Filter Scheme.
 *  A possibly non-linear Information filter

 * To work with with Linear and Linrz models
 *  a) a separate state and information (via covariance) predict is used.
 *  b) a EIF modified innovation update algorithm is used.
 *
 * Two alternative algorithms are used for predict functions:
 *  For linrz models an extended predict form is used so information state 'y' is predicted via the
 *  non-linear function. This requires that X, and Y are invertible so 'x' can be computed.
 * For linear invertible models predict can be done directly without computing x
 * Discontinuous observe models require that predict is normailised with
 * respect to the observation.
 * NUMERICS
 *  The state x is represented by prod(X,y). This may be ill conditioned if the product is
 *  ill conditioned. At present only the conditioning of X if checked, if y has a large range the product
 *  may be ill conditioned. This is not checked
 *
 * The filter is operated by performing a
 *  predict, observe
 * cycle defined by the base class
