Samenvatting	Multilevel Approximate Bayesian Computation (multilevel ABC) extends simulation-based Bayesian inference to hierarchically structured data. When the likelihood is intractable and observations are nested within groups, it replaces direct likelihood evaluation with simulations at each level of the hierarchy, accepting parameter draws whose simulated summary statistics are close to the observed ones.	A Bayesian hierarchical model with missing data treats unobserved values as additional unknowns and samples them jointly with all model parameters from the posterior. The nested structure of the hierarchy borrows strength across groups, while the Bayesian framework naturally propagates uncertainty from missingness through every estimate and prediction.
