Резюме	Hamiltonian Monte Carlo with missing data extends the gradient-based HMC sampler to handle incomplete observations by treating missing values as additional unknown parameters. The posterior over model parameters and missing values is sampled jointly in one efficient pass, exploiting gradient information to explore the high-dimensional joint space with far fewer rejected proposals than random-walk MCMC.	Variational inference with missing data is a scalable Bayesian approach that simultaneously approximates the posterior over latent variables and model parameters while imputing missing observations. Instead of integrating over all possible values of the missing entries exactly, it posits a tractable approximate distribution and optimises it to be as close as possible to the true joint posterior, yielding fast, principled inference even in high-dimensional incomplete datasets.
