Résumé	Multilevel Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (Multilevel HMC) combines the variance-reduction strategy of multilevel Monte Carlo with the efficient gradient-driven exploration of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. By running coupled HMC chains at increasing levels of model fidelity or discretisation, it achieves accurate posterior estimates at a computational cost substantially lower than a single fine-level HMC chain.	Multilevel MCMC applies Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling to hierarchical (multilevel) Bayesian models. It draws samples from the joint posterior of both group-level and population-level parameters simultaneously, propagating uncertainty across levels and enabling inference in clustered or nested data structures where observations within groups share common distributional characteristics.
