概要	Bayesian Weighted Least Squares combines the classical WLS weighting scheme — which downweights observations with high error variance — with Bayesian prior distributions over the regression coefficients and error variance. The result is a posterior distribution that reflects both the data likelihood and prior beliefs, providing full uncertainty quantification in heteroscedastic settings.	The Bayesian random effects model combines panel-data random effects with a Bayesian prior framework, allowing unit-specific effects to be treated as draws from a population distribution whose hyperparameters are estimated from the data. This produces regularised, uncertainty-quantified estimates that borrow strength across units — particularly valuable for short panels, sparse groups, or settings where frequentist variance-component estimation is unstable.
