Sažetak	Conjugate prior analysis is a class of Bayesian inference methods in which the prior distribution and the likelihood belong to a matched family — called a conjugate pair — so that the posterior distribution has exactly the same functional form as the prior and can be derived in closed form. Introduced systematically by Raiffa and Schlaifer (1961) and consolidated by DeGroot (1970), conjugate analysis is the pedagogic backbone of introductory Bayesian statistics and a practical tool whenever analytical tractability is required.	Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a family of computational algorithms for sampling from complex probability distributions, most commonly the posterior distributions that arise in Bayesian inference. Rather than computing posteriors analytically — which is rarely possible for realistic models — MCMC constructs a Markov chain whose stationary distribution is the target posterior and draws dependent samples from it, enabling full probabilistic inference for virtually any model.
