สรุป	Empirical Bayes (EB) is an estimation strategy, introduced by Herbert Robbins in 1956 and developed into practical shrinkage estimators by Bradley Efron and Carl Morris in 1973, in which the hyperparameters of the prior distribution are estimated from the observed data via the marginal likelihood rather than specified in advance. The resulting posterior retains a Bayesian structure but substitutes data-driven hyperparameters for subjective ones, bridging frequentist shrinkage and full Bayesian inference.	A mixed effects model (or linear mixed model) extends ordinary regression by including both fixed effects — population-level parameters shared by all observations — and random effects that capture subject-, group-, or cluster-level variability. It is the standard tool for repeated-measures, longitudinal, and multilevel data where observations within the same unit are correlated.
