Sintesi	Bayesian inference is a statistical paradigm in which probability represents degrees of belief rather than long-run frequencies. It encodes prior knowledge about parameters in a prior distribution, combines that prior with the likelihood of observed data via Bayes' theorem, and produces a posterior distribution that quantifies updated uncertainty. The foundational theorem was published posthumously by Thomas Bayes in 1763 and subsequently systematized by Pierre-Simon Laplace in his 1812 Théorie analytique des probabilités.	The Elo Rating System is a pairwise comparison-based ranking method developed by Hungarian-American physicist and chess master Arpad Elo and formally published in 1978. Originally designed to assess the relative skill levels of chess players, it assigns each competitor a numerical rating that rises or falls after each encounter based on the expected versus actual outcome. The system assumes that player performance follows a logistic distribution, enabling probabilistic predictions of match results and continuous rating refinement over time.
