Rezumat	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.	Hierarchical Bayesian inference is a probabilistic modeling framework that organises parameters into levels, placing priors on the group-level parameters and hyperpriors on the parameters governing those priors. It enables partial pooling of information across groups, balancing the extremes of treating each group as independent or merging them into a single estimate.
