Σύνοψη	Spatial Approximate Bayesian Computation (Spatial ABC) is a likelihood-free Bayesian inference framework for spatial data models whose likelihood function is intractable or too expensive to evaluate. It draws candidate parameters from a prior, simulates spatially structured datasets under those parameters, and accepts only the draws whose simulated spatial summary statistics closely match the observed data, thereby building an approximate posterior over model parameters.	Spatial Bayesian inference applies Bayesian hierarchical modeling to data indexed by geographic location. By placing structured spatial priors on location-specific random effects, the model borrows information from neighboring regions or nearby points, producing smooth, uncertainty-quantified maps of any spatially varying outcome — disease rates, pollution levels, species abundance, or environmental risk.
