Podsumowanie	Bayesian Factor Analysis is a probabilistic latent-variable method that places prior distributions on the factor loading matrix and the residual variances, then infers a full posterior over these parameters from the observed data. Developed prominently in the Bayesian framework by Lopes and West (2004), it extends classical exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis by quantifying uncertainty in every estimated loading rather than reporting single point estimates.	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.
