Pre-requisite to https://github.com/CDCgov/multisignal-epi-inference/issues/169.

Model class should have model.sample_prior() and model.predict(samples) methods.

This was mentioned in Teams.

Did you have an (eventual) solution in mind beyond kwargs? I feel it works well for what we have now but might change in the future if there is something better.

Response:

It would be nice if you didn’t have to pass any arguments at all. I would want to somehow differentiate between a model and a model with data.
