Σύνοψη	A multilevel Bayesian network extends the standard Bayesian network to data with hierarchical or grouped structure — students within schools, patients within hospitals, observations within subjects — by placing separate but linked graphical models at each level, with higher-level parameters governing the conditional probability tables of lower-level nodes. The result is a principled probabilistic framework that captures both within-group relationships and between-group variation.	Multilevel Bayesian inference combines Bayesian probability with hierarchical data structures, treating group-level parameters as drawn from a common population distribution. It simultaneously estimates unit-level effects and the hyperparameters governing their variation, propagating full uncertainty through every level of the hierarchy via posterior sampling.
