Resumo	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.	Bayesian OLS combines the classical linear regression likelihood with prior distributions over the coefficients and error variance. Rather than reporting point estimates, it produces full posterior distributions that quantify both estimated effects and their uncertainty. The approach is especially valuable when prior knowledge is available or when samples are small.
