Σύνοψη	Multiscale spatial autocorrelation extends classical spatial autocorrelation analysis by computing and comparing autocorrelation statistics (such as Moran's I) across a range of spatial scales simultaneously. This reveals at which geographic distances or resolutions spatial clustering or dispersion is strongest, providing a richer picture than a single global measure.	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.
