I generate toy data from N(5,2). X input will be the same for model_1 and
model_2, say, seq(-3, 3, by=0.01).

I only use model_1, model_2 for data generation.  I am using machine
learning methods for estimation and prediction to see if the method is good
and robust.  Then, check performance by comparing results with the known
model_1 and model_2.
