Shrnutí	Hierarchical variational inference (HVI) extends standard variational inference by placing a richer, hierarchical structure on the variational family itself. Instead of using a simple mean-field approximation, HVI introduces auxiliary latent variables that capture dependencies among the main latent variables, yielding tighter evidence lower bounds and more accurate posterior approximations for complex Bayesian models.	Hierarchical Markov chain Monte Carlo applies MCMC sampling to hierarchical Bayesian models, jointly drawing from the posterior over both observation-level parameters and the hyperparameters that govern them. This allows principled uncertainty propagation across all levels of a multilevel structure, from individuals to groups to population, using algorithms such as Gibbs sampling, Metropolis-Hastings, or Hamiltonian Monte Carlo.
