Përmbledhja	A Bayesian EWAS is a genome-scale association analysis that links epigenetic marks — most commonly CpG-site DNA methylation — to a phenotype or trait of interest, replacing or supplementing the classical frequentist p-value framework with a Bayesian probabilistic model. It yields posterior probabilities of association and credible intervals for each CpG site, allowing formal incorporation of prior biological knowledge and more principled handling of the multiple-testing burden intrinsic to testing hundreds of thousands of sites simultaneously.	Bayesian GWAS applies Bayesian statistical inference to genome-wide association studies, replacing classical p-value thresholds with Bayes factors and posterior probabilities. This framework naturally incorporates prior knowledge about effect sizes and variant frequencies, quantifies evidence for association on a continuous scale, and supports principled fine-mapping of causal variants within associated loci. It is widely used in complex trait genetics, population genomics, and translational research where uncertainty quantification and multi-variant modeling matter.
