Tiivistelmä	Bayesian Multinomial Logistic Regression models a nominal outcome with three or more unordered categories by placing prior distributions over the regression coefficients and updating them with data via Bayes' theorem. The result is a full posterior distribution over category probabilities for each observation, enabling principled uncertainty quantification and regularization through the prior.	Bayesian logistic regression is a classification model that applies Bayesian inference to a logistic (sigmoid) likelihood for binary or multinomial outcomes. Developed within the weakly-informative prior framework formalised by Gelman, Jakulin, Pittau and Su (2008), it places a prior distribution over the coefficients and combines that prior with the data likelihood to yield a full posterior distribution for each parameter — delivering calibrated class probabilities and honest uncertainty even in small samples, rare-event settings, or cases of complete separation where frequentist maximum likelihood estimation collapses.
