Zusammenfassung	Hierarchical ABC is a likelihood-free Bayesian inference method designed for multilevel data structures in which individual-level parameters are themselves drawn from a population-level distribution. By combining simulation-based rejection sampling with hierarchical pooling, it recovers both within-group and between-group posterior distributions without requiring a tractable likelihood function.	Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) is a family of simulation-based inference methods that estimate posterior distributions without requiring an analytically tractable likelihood function. Introduced by Beaumont, Zhang and Balding (2002) in the context of population genetics, ABC replaced the intractable likelihood with repeated model simulation and a comparison of summary statistics between simulated and observed data.
