On longer time scales, complex systems often pass through different dynamical attractors and thus produce 'anomalous' distributions and correlations when analyzed with conventional statistical tools. We argue that the most appropriate way of describing such systems is by hierarchical multilevel models, in which the lowest level is a relatively simple random walk model that can generate the observed time series on short time scales, but which depends on latent hyper-parameters that are themselves time-dependent and controlled by the higher levels of the model. First, our Bayesian method is introduced for the sequential inference of those gradual or abrupt parameter changes. We then review possible applications of the superstatistical framework in such diverse fields as biophysics, neuroscience, finance, or policy assessment. Finally, we discuss more recent extensions of the method for model selection and the use of machine learning models for estimating complex likelihood functions.
