Sintesi	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.	Gradient Boosting is an ensemble learning method, formalised by Jerome H. Friedman in 2001, that combines a sequence of weak learners — typically shallow decision trees — so that each new tree is fitted to minimise the residual errors of the trees before it. It is the core algorithm behind popular implementations such as XGBoost, LightGBM and CatBoost.
