Model Framework:

Area-level Spatial Cluster: XiZiN(γZi,1), Yi|Xi, ZiN(c2Zi+βXi,1), and wi = 1 (i = 1,…,100)

Individual-level Spatial Cluster: XijZiN(γZi,1), Yij|Xij, ZiN(c2Zi+βXij,1) (i = 1, …, 100) (j = 1, …, 10)

Note: Area-level adjustment uses outcome Y¯i=j=110Yij/10, area-level covariate X¯i=j=110Xij/10, and wi = 10.
