Σύνοψη	Bayesian Spatial Autocorrelation embeds spatial dependence directly into a Bayesian hierarchical model. A Conditional Autoregressive (CAR) prior encodes the expectation that neighboring areas are more similar than distant ones, and posterior inference is obtained via MCMC. This approach is especially valuable in disease mapping, ecology, and regional science, where small-area estimates need borrowing strength across neighbors.	Bayesian Spatial Regression embeds a spatially structured random effect into a regression framework and estimates all parameters — including spatial range and variance — through posterior inference rather than point estimation. It handles spatial autocorrelation, quantifies full predictive uncertainty, and accommodates small or irregular spatial datasets via hierarchical priors.
