תקציר	Hierarchical ABC is a likelihood-free Bayesian inference method designed for multilevel data structures in which individual-level parameters are themselves drawn from a population-level distribution. By combining simulation-based rejection sampling with hierarchical pooling, it recovers both within-group and between-group posterior distributions without requiring a tractable likelihood function.	Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) is a family of simulation-based algorithms that approximate evolving probability distributions by propagating and reweighting a cloud of weighted random draws called particles. It handles nonlinear, non-Gaussian models and streams of data naturally, making it the method of choice for real-time state estimation and posterior approximation over complex distributions.
