Σύνοψη	Bayesian Kriging embeds classical geostatistical interpolation inside a full probabilistic framework. Instead of treating variogram parameters as fixed point estimates, it places prior distributions on them and updates these priors with observed spatial data to obtain a posterior distribution. Predictions at unsampled locations are then marginalised over this uncertainty, yielding honest predictive intervals that account for both spatial dependence and parameter uncertainty.	Spatial autocorrelation quantifies the degree to which a variable's values at nearby locations resemble each other more (positive autocorrelation) or less (negative autocorrelation) than expected by chance. Global indices such as Moran's I summarise the pattern across the entire study area, while local variants reveal clusters and outliers at the level of individual observations.
