Spatial autocorrelation means that nearby spots in a tissue section tend to have similar values; Moran's I is the standard number for how strong that tendency is.
Moran's I is a measure of spatial autocorrelation, the correlation of a signal among nearby locations in space, developed by P. A. P. Moran (Wikipedia). Values near +1 mean neighbouring spots agree, near 0 no spatial pattern, and a permutation test gives the p-value. In spatial transcriptomics it is used to show that predicted risk, subtype or expression forms coherent domains rather than noise, and methods such as SpaGCN build the neighbourhood structure into clustering.
