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.	Local Spatial Autocorrelation methods decompose global spatial clustering into location-specific statistics, revealing where in a study area significant clustering or dispersion occurs. Each observation receives its own association score and significance value, enabling the detection of spatial hot spots, cold spots, and spatial outliers rather than reporting a single summary statistic.
