Sintesi	Spatial Approximate Bayesian Computation (Spatial ABC) is a likelihood-free Bayesian inference framework for spatial data models whose likelihood function is intractable or too expensive to evaluate. It draws candidate parameters from a prior, simulates spatially structured datasets under those parameters, and accepts only the draws whose simulated spatial summary statistics closely match the observed data, thereby building an approximate posterior over model parameters.	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.
