 * 3D pose using a quaternion \f$ p(\mathbf{x}) = [x ~ y ~ z ~ qr ~ qx ~ qy ~
 * qz]^\top \f$.
 *
 *   This class implements that PDF using a mono-modal Gaussian distribution.
 * See mrpt::poses::CPose3DQuatPDF for more details, or
 *    mrpt::poses::CPose3DPDF for classes based on Euler angles instead.
