תקציר	Bayesian Geary's C embeds the classical Geary contiguity ratio within a Bayesian hierarchical framework. Instead of a single point estimate and asymptotic p-value, it produces a posterior distribution over the statistic (or over spatially structured random effects), quantifying uncertainty about spatial autocorrelation while formally incorporating prior knowledge about the spatial process.	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.
