Sintesi	Bayesian Geographically Weighted Regression combines the spatially varying coefficient framework of GWR with Bayesian inference, placing Gaussian process priors on the locally varying regression coefficients. This yields full posterior distributions over each coefficient at every location, providing principled uncertainty quantification rather than only point estimates.	Bayesian Spatial Regression embeds a spatially structured random effect into a regression framework and estimates all parameters — including spatial range and variance — through posterior inference rather than point estimation. It handles spatial autocorrelation, quantifies full predictive uncertainty, and accommodates small or irregular spatial datasets via hierarchical priors.
