Sammanfattning	The Bayesian Exponential Random Graph Model (Bayesian ERGM or BERGM) extends the classical ERGM framework by placing prior distributions over the model parameters and using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to obtain full posterior distributions. Introduced by Caimo and Friel (2011), it allows researchers to quantify parameter uncertainty and incorporate prior knowledge when modelling the structural features of social and other complex networks.	The Stochastic Block Model (SBM), introduced by Holland, Laskey and Leinhardt (1983), is a probabilistic generative model for graphs that assigns nodes to latent blocks and parametrically estimates the connection probabilities between blocks. It is the foundational approach for community detection, core-periphery identification, and hierarchical structure discovery in network analysis.
