Resumé	Bayesian K-means clustering extends the classical K-means algorithm by placing prior distributions over cluster centroids and mixing proportions. This probabilistic framework provides uncertainty estimates for cluster assignments, allows principled model selection for the number of clusters, and regularises centroid estimation — especially valuable when data are scarce or high-dimensional.	Bayesian hierarchical clustering is a probabilistic agglomerative algorithm that builds a tree of nested cluster merges using Bayesian model comparison at each step. Rather than minimising a geometric linkage criterion, it evaluates at every candidate merge whether the data from two clusters are better explained by a single combined model or by two separate models, yielding a statistically principled dendrogram.
