Sintesi	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.	Empirical Bayes (EB) is an estimation strategy, introduced by Herbert Robbins in 1956 and developed into practical shrinkage estimators by Bradley Efron and Carl Morris in 1973, in which the hyperparameters of the prior distribution are estimated from the observed data via the marginal likelihood rather than specified in advance. The resulting posterior retains a Bayesian structure but substitutes data-driven hyperparameters for subjective ones, bridging frequentist shrinkage and full Bayesian inference.	Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a family of computational algorithms for sampling from complex probability distributions, most commonly the posterior distributions that arise in Bayesian inference. Rather than computing posteriors analytically — which is rarely possible for realistic models — MCMC constructs a Markov chain whose stationary distribution is the target posterior and draws dependent samples from it, enabling full probabilistic inference for virtually any model.
