概要	Spatial Bayesian inference applies Bayesian hierarchical modeling to data indexed by geographic location. By placing structured spatial priors on location-specific random effects, the model borrows information from neighboring regions or nearby points, producing smooth, uncertainty-quantified maps of any spatially varying outcome — disease rates, pollution levels, species abundance, or environmental risk.	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.
