Zusammenfassung	The Bayesian Spatial Error Model (Bayesian SEM) estimates a regression in which spatially correlated disturbances are explicitly modelled through a spatial weights matrix, while all parameters — regression coefficients, spatial error autocorrelation, and error variance — receive full posterior distributions via Bayesian inference rather than point estimates.	Moran's I is the standard global statistic for detecting spatial autocorrelation: whether nearby locations tend to share similar values. The index ranges from approximately −1 (perfect dispersion) through 0 (spatial randomness) to +1 (perfect clustering), allowing researchers to test whether a geographic pattern differs from complete spatial randomness with a single, interpretable number.
