Σύνοψη	Spatial Gibbs sampling applies the Gibbs sampler — a coordinate-wise Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm — to models where observations are arranged in space and nearby locations are statistically dependent. By exploiting the conditional independence implied by a spatial neighbourhood structure, each site is updated one at a time given its neighbours, making posterior inference tractable for Markov random fields, Gaussian random fields, and hierarchical geostatistical models.	Bayesian hierarchical modelling, popularised by Gelman and Hill (2006), is a Bayesian approach to nested data structures — such as students within schools within districts — that estimates separate parameters at each level while allowing those levels to share statistical strength through a mechanism called partial pooling. Where a classical hierarchical linear model treats group means as fixed unknown quantities, the Bayesian version places hyperprior distributions on those group means so that information flows freely across levels, producing more reliable group-level estimates whenever any individual group has few observations.
