Bayesian Random Forest

Bayesian Random Forest extends the classical random forest by placing a prior distribution over tree structures and leaf parameters, then sampling or approximating the posterior over that ensemble. The result is a set of predictions accompanied by calibrated uncertainty estimates — a capability standard random forests lack — making it valuable when knowing how confident the model is matters as much as the prediction itself.
