Sintesi	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.	Hierarchical Bayesian inference is a probabilistic modeling framework that organises parameters into levels, placing priors on the group-level parameters and hyperpriors on the parameters governing those priors. It enables partial pooling of information across groups, balancing the extremes of treating each group as independent or merging them into a single estimate.
