Σύνοψη	Robust Geary's C adapts the classical Geary contiguity ratio — a measure of spatial autocorrelation based on pairwise squared differences between neighbouring locations — to resist distortion by spatial outliers and influential observations. It retains the local sensitivity of Geary's C while producing more reliable inferences when the spatial data contain extreme values or non-normal distributions.	Geary's C is a global spatial autocorrelation statistic that measures whether nearby areal units share similar attribute values. Unlike Moran's I, it focuses on squared differences between adjacent pairs rather than cross-products of deviations from the mean, making it more sensitive to local dissimilarity and less influenced by global trends.
