Experimental classes in high-level package

[BradyPlanden]

Feature description

After the discussion in the developers meeting, this issue is open to continue discussion for a higher-level API. I think this high level API would mimic PyBOP workflows, but could also provide other functionality. An example API for this package (pbx?) would be:

import pbx

pbx.load("path/to/data")
pbx.gitt(pbx.spm, parameter_set=params, etc.)
pbx.plot()

Motivation

This could provide a nice entry point for new-users; however, we would need more development resources to maintain both packages.

Possible implementation

Sorry for the delayed response, still clearing off backlog from before Christmas. I am not sure I see all the advantages of having a separate package. If pbx just contains the wrapper classes to streamline the process, it will be quite light but still require PyBOP as a dependency, so we will only be shaving a few lines of codes from PyBOP but we now have 2 packages to maintain and keep synced.

IMO, these wrapper classes could coexist with the more detailed workflows. It would be similar of how PyBaMM can be easily streamlined with a simulation of a standard model, but you can also use the methods in it to solve your own models.
