Tiivistelmä	Space-Time Geary's C extends the classical Geary contiguity ratio to panel or longitudinal spatial data, measuring autocorrelation across both geographic neighbors and adjacent time periods simultaneously. Values below 1 indicate positive space-time clustering; values above 1 indicate dispersion, and a value near 1 suggests random arrangement across the space-time lattice.	Moran's I is the standard global statistic for detecting spatial autocorrelation: whether nearby locations tend to share similar values. The index ranges from approximately −1 (perfect dispersion) through 0 (spatial randomness) to +1 (perfect clustering), allowing researchers to test whether a geographic pattern differs from complete spatial randomness with a single, interpretable number.
