The developed function returns a dataframe of spatially generated population consist of simulated response variable (i.e. Y) along with their spatial coordinates, spatially varying coefficients and two explanatory variables (i.e. X1 and X2). The auxiliary variables are drawn independently from uniform distribution U(0,2) and normal distribution N(1,1) and the regression coefficients are generated as non-linear function of latitudes and longitudes.
