Підсумок	Conjugate prior analysis is a class of Bayesian inference methods in which the prior distribution and the likelihood belong to a matched family — called a conjugate pair — so that the posterior distribution has exactly the same functional form as the prior and can be derived in closed form. Introduced systematically by Raiffa and Schlaifer (1961) and consolidated by DeGroot (1970), conjugate analysis is the pedagogic backbone of introductory Bayesian statistics and a practical tool whenever analytical tractability is required.	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.
