Bayesian Simple Linear Regression

Bayesian Simple Linear Regression models the relationship between a continuous outcome and a single predictor by combining a Gaussian likelihood with prior distributions over the intercept, slope, and error variance. The result is a full posterior distribution over all parameters, providing probabilistic uncertainty quantification rather than a single point estimate.
