Rezumat	Hierarchical Bayesian model averaging (HBMA) combines Bayesian model averaging with hierarchical model structure, averaging posterior quantities over a set of candidate models weighted by each model's posterior probability. Rather than selecting a single best model, HBMA propagates model uncertainty through a hierarchical framework, producing predictions and parameter estimates that honestly reflect uncertainty about which model is correct.	The Bayesian Information Criterion is an information-theoretic model selection criterion that approximates Bayesian model comparison. Introduced by Gideon Schwarz in 1978, BIC penalizes model complexity more heavily than AIC by using a sample-size-dependent penalty, making it particularly suitable for identifying the true underlying model structure.
