Sammendrag	Bayesian hierarchical clustering is a probabilistic agglomerative algorithm that builds a tree of nested cluster merges using Bayesian model comparison at each step. Rather than minimising a geometric linkage criterion, it evaluates at every candidate merge whether the data from two clusters are better explained by a single combined model or by two separate models, yielding a statistically principled dendrogram.	Bayesian cluster analysis assigns observations to latent groups by combining a probabilistic model of within-cluster data with prior beliefs about cluster parameters and the number of clusters. It yields posterior probabilities of cluster membership and principled uncertainty estimates, making it more transparent than classical distance-based clustering algorithms.
