Resum	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.	Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) is a family of simulation-based algorithms that approximate evolving probability distributions by propagating and reweighting a cloud of weighted random draws called particles. It handles nonlinear, non-Gaussian models and streams of data naturally, making it the method of choice for real-time state estimation and posterior approximation over complex distributions.
