Tiivistelmä	Bayesian microbiome diversity analysis applies probabilistic models — chiefly Dirichlet-Multinomial and related hierarchical frameworks — to 16S rRNA or shotgun metagenomic count data to estimate alpha-diversity (within-sample richness and evenness) and beta-diversity (between-sample compositional differences) while propagating uncertainty through the entire inference chain. Unlike frequentist rarefaction-based approaches, Bayesian methods treat taxon counts as draws from a latent composition, enabling credible intervals on diversity metrics and principled comparison across groups with unequal sequencing depth.	Bayesian metabolomics analysis applies probabilistic inference to metabolite abundance data — typically from mass spectrometry or NMR spectroscopy — to identify differentially abundant metabolites, annotate spectral features, and integrate pathway knowledge. By encoding prior biological knowledge into prior distributions and propagating uncertainty throughout the analysis, it yields more calibrated probability statements about metabolic differences than classical frequentist testing alone.
