Σύνοψη	The spatial Kalman filter applies classical Kalman filtering to spatio-temporal state-space models, treating a spatially distributed latent field as the hidden state that evolves over time. At each time step, the filter recursively predicts the spatial field forward and then updates the prediction with new spatial observations, producing optimal linear estimates of the field and its uncertainty across all locations.	Spatial MCMC applies Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling to Bayesian models that explicitly account for spatial dependence among observations. It draws posterior samples from models such as conditional autoregressive (CAR), simultaneous autoregressive (SAR), or geostatistical (Gaussian process) models, yielding full uncertainty distributions for spatially structured parameters like random effects, regression coefficients, and spatial range.
