Sammanfattning	Bayesian Multinomial Logistic Regression models a nominal outcome with three or more unordered categories by placing prior distributions over the regression coefficients and updating them with data via Bayes' theorem. The result is a full posterior distribution over category probabilities for each observation, enabling principled uncertainty quantification and regularization through the prior.	Multinomial logistic regression extends binary logistic regression to outcomes with three or more unordered categories. It models the log-odds of each category relative to a chosen reference category as a linear function of the predictors, and estimates all parameters simultaneously via maximum likelihood. It is the standard choice when the dependent variable is nominal with multiple levels.
