摘要	Multilevel Gibbs sampling applies the Gibbs MCMC algorithm to hierarchical (multilevel) Bayesian models, cycling through the conditional distributions of group-level parameters and population-level hyperparameters in turn. This exploits the conditional independence structure of the hierarchy to draw exact or near-exact samples from a posterior that would otherwise be analytically intractable.	Bayesian hierarchical modelling, popularised by Gelman and Hill (2006), is a Bayesian approach to nested data structures — such as students within schools within districts — that estimates separate parameters at each level while allowing those levels to share statistical strength through a mechanism called partial pooling. Where a classical hierarchical linear model treats group means as fixed unknown quantities, the Bayesian version places hyperprior distributions on those group means so that information flows freely across levels, producing more reliable group-level estimates whenever any individual group has few observations.
