Résumé	Bayesian Moran's I embeds the classical Moran's I spatial autocorrelation test within a Bayesian probabilistic framework. Rather than producing a single p-value, it yields a posterior distribution over the spatial autocorrelation parameter, enabling uncertainty quantification, incorporation of prior knowledge, and more principled inference in small or irregular spatial datasets.	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.
