概要	A hierarchical Bayesian network is a probabilistic graphical model that organizes variables across multiple levels of abstraction. Higher-level nodes govern the prior distributions of lower-level nodes through hyperparameters, enabling structured sharing of information across groups, contexts, or data subsets while preserving the directed acyclic graph (DAG) representation of conditional dependencies.	Hierarchical Markov chain Monte Carlo applies MCMC sampling to hierarchical Bayesian models, jointly drawing from the posterior over both observation-level parameters and the hyperparameters that govern them. This allows principled uncertainty propagation across all levels of a multilevel structure, from individuals to groups to population, using algorithms such as Gibbs sampling, Metropolis-Hastings, or Hamiltonian Monte Carlo.
