תקציר	Conjugate prior analysis is a class of Bayesian inference methods in which the prior distribution and the likelihood belong to a matched family — called a conjugate pair — so that the posterior distribution has exactly the same functional form as the prior and can be derived in closed form. Introduced systematically by Raiffa and Schlaifer (1961) and consolidated by DeGroot (1970), conjugate analysis is the pedagogic backbone of introductory Bayesian statistics and a practical tool whenever analytical tractability is required.	Bayesian regression is a probabilistic version of linear regression that treats the model parameters as uncertain quantities. Instead of returning a single best-fit estimate, it combines prior knowledge with the observed data to produce a full posterior probability distribution for each parameter, from which credible intervals and predictions are read off.
