Sažetak	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.	Bayesian pathway enrichment analysis tests whether a predefined set of genes — a biological pathway — is systematically overrepresented among genes that show evidence of differential activity in an experiment. Unlike classical over-representation tests, it encodes prior biological knowledge as a prior distribution and updates it with the observed expression data, yielding posterior probabilities of enrichment rather than p-values. This probabilistic framing naturally handles small samples, multiple pathways, and uncertainty propagation in a coherent statistical framework.
