Samenvatting	A multilevel Bayesian network extends the standard Bayesian network to data with hierarchical or grouped structure — students within schools, patients within hospitals, observations within subjects — by placing separate but linked graphical models at each level, with higher-level parameters governing the conditional probability tables of lower-level nodes. The result is a principled probabilistic framework that captures both within-group relationships and between-group variation.	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.
