Rezumat	Moran's I is a global statistic, introduced by Patrick Moran in 1950, that measures whether and how a continuous variable is spatially autocorrelated across mapped units. A positive value signals clustering of similar values, a negative value signals a dispersed (checkerboard) pattern, and it is most often used as a diagnostic before moving to spatial regression.	The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (r) is a parametric measure of the direction and strength of the linear association between two continuous variables. Introduced by Karl Pearson in 1895, it remains the most widely used bivariate correlation statistic in the social, health, and natural sciences. The coefficient ranges from −1 (perfect negative linear relationship) to +1 (perfect positive), with 0 indicating no linear association.
