Sammendrag	Multilevel Bayesian inference combines Bayesian probability with hierarchical data structures, treating group-level parameters as drawn from a common population distribution. It simultaneously estimates unit-level effects and the hyperparameters governing their variation, propagating full uncertainty through every level of the hierarchy via posterior sampling.	Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a family of computational algorithms for sampling from complex probability distributions, most commonly the posterior distributions that arise in Bayesian inference. Rather than computing posteriors analytically — which is rarely possible for realistic models — MCMC constructs a Markov chain whose stationary distribution is the target posterior and draws dependent samples from it, enabling full probabilistic inference for virtually any model.
