Sammanfattning	A multilevel Bayesian network extends the standard Bayesian network to data with hierarchical or grouped structure — students within schools, patients within hospitals, observations within subjects — by placing separate but linked graphical models at each level, with higher-level parameters governing the conditional probability tables of lower-level nodes. The result is a principled probabilistic framework that captures both within-group relationships and between-group variation.	A Bayesian network is a probabilistic graphical model, introduced by Judea Pearl in 1988, that encodes a set of variables and their conditional dependencies as a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Each node represents a variable; each directed edge encodes a direct probabilistic influence. By combining Bayes' rule with the graph's conditional independence structure, the model supports reasoning under uncertainty — computing the probability of any variable given observed evidence about others.
