Σύνοψη	Ensemble Gaussian Process trains multiple independent GP experts on data subsets or overlapping regions, then combines their posterior predictions — means and variances — into a single probabilistic forecast. This approach retains the calibrated uncertainty estimates of standard GPs while overcoming their O(n³) cubic cost bottleneck, making probabilistic regression practical on datasets with thousands to millions of observations.	Random Forest is an ensemble learning method, introduced by Leo Breiman in 2001, that grows many decision trees on bootstrap samples of the data and combines their votes to produce strong classification and regression. By pooling many slightly different trees, it produces more accurate and more stable predictions than any single tree.
