תקציר	Bayesian boosting integrates probabilistic Bayesian inference with boosting ensemble techniques, combining multiple weak learners while maintaining full uncertainty quantification over predictions. Unlike standard gradient boosting that produces a single point estimate, Bayesian boosting yields a posterior distribution over the ensemble output, enabling calibrated confidence intervals alongside predictions.	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.	Boosting is a sequential ensemble technique that converts many simple, barely-better-than-chance learners into a single highly accurate model by repeatedly focusing training on the examples that previous learners got wrong, then combining all learners with weights proportional to their individual accuracy.
