Spatial Bayesian Model Averaging
Spatial Bayesian model averaging (spatial BMA) extends classical BMA to settings where observations are georeferenced and spatial dependence must be modelled. Rather than selecting a single spatial regression model — which spatial weight matrix to use, which regressors to include, which spatial lag or error structure to adopt — it averages the predictions and parameter estimates across all candidate models, weighting each by its posterior probability given the data.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
