摘要	Bayesian conjoint analysis estimates individual-level consumer preference weights for product attributes by combining conjoint choice tasks with a hierarchical Bayesian model. It yields part-worth utilities for each respondent rather than only group averages, enabling precise market simulation and segment discovery even from small per-person choice sets.	Bayesian latent class analysis extends classical LCA by placing prior distributions on all model parameters and using posterior inference — typically via MCMC — to classify individuals into unobserved categorical groups, quantify uncertainty around class membership, and select the number of classes in a principled, probabilistic way.
