সারসংক্ষেপ	Multilevel MCMC applies Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling to hierarchical (multilevel) Bayesian models. It draws samples from the joint posterior of both group-level and population-level parameters simultaneously, propagating uncertainty across levels and enabling inference in clustered or nested data structures where observations within groups share common distributional characteristics.	The Metropolis-Hastings (MH) algorithm is a general-purpose Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method for drawing samples from any probability distribution whose density can be evaluated up to a normalising constant. Introduced by Metropolis, Rosenbluth, Rosenbluth, Teller, and Teller (1953) in computational physics and generalised by Hastings (1970) to asymmetric proposal distributions, it is the foundational algorithm from which nearly all subsequent MCMC samplers — Gibbs sampling, Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, slice sampling — are derived or can be viewed as special cases.
