Samenvatting	Bayesian PageRank extends the classic PageRank algorithm by embedding it within a Bayesian probabilistic framework. Instead of returning a single deterministic rank score for each node, it quantifies uncertainty over rank estimates — particularly valuable when the network is incomplete, noisy, or observed with error. It is used in web analysis, citation networks, and social network research where rank uncertainty matters.	Bayesian Network Diffusion Analysis applies Bayesian probabilistic inference to the study of how information, diseases, behaviors, or innovations propagate through a network. By placing priors over diffusion parameters and updating them with observed cascade data, it quantifies transmission rates, identifies influential spreaders, reconstructs latent propagation pathways, and provides full uncertainty estimates — all within a principled statistical framework.
