Σύνοψη	The Bayesian Exponential Random Graph Model (Bayesian ERGM or BERGM) extends the classical ERGM framework by placing prior distributions over the model parameters and using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to obtain full posterior distributions. Introduced by Caimo and Friel (2011), it allows researchers to quantify parameter uncertainty and incorporate prior knowledge when modelling the structural features of social and other complex networks.	Bayesian Social Network Analysis applies Bayesian probabilistic inference to relational data, placing prior distributions over network parameters and updating them with observed tie data to yield full posterior distributions over structural features, tie probabilities, and latent actor positions. It enables principled uncertainty quantification in network models, making it especially valuable when data are sparse, partially observed, or subject to measurement error.
