概要	Multiscale spatial autocorrelation extends classical spatial autocorrelation analysis by computing and comparing autocorrelation statistics (such as Moran's I) across a range of spatial scales simultaneously. This reveals at which geographic distances or resolutions spatial clustering or dispersion is strongest, providing a richer picture than a single global measure.	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.
