Shrnutí	Automatic Differentiation Variational Inference (ADVI) is a black-box algorithm for approximate Bayesian posterior inference, introduced by Kucukelbir, Tran, Ranganath, Gelman, and Blei (2017, JMLR). Given any probabilistic model whose log-joint density is differentiable, ADVI automatically transforms constrained latent variables to unconstrained real space, fits a Gaussian variational family by maximising the evidence lower bound (ELBO) with stochastic gradient ascent, and returns an approximate posterior without model-specific derivations. It is the default variational inference engine in Stan and is available in PyMC and NumPyro.	Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a family of computational algorithms for sampling from complex probability distributions, most commonly the posterior distributions that arise in Bayesian inference. Rather than computing posteriors analytically — which is rarely possible for realistic models — MCMC constructs a Markov chain whose stationary distribution is the target posterior and draws dependent samples from it, enabling full probabilistic inference for virtually any model.
