		Small Area Estimation Hierarchical Bayes for Spatial Beta Model
		// Provides several functions and datasets for area-level Small
		Area Estimation using the Hierarchical Bayesian (HB) method.
		Model-based estimators are designed for variables of interest
		that follow a Beta distribution. The package supports spatial
		structures under the Simultaneous Autoregressive (SAR) and
		Leroux Conditional Autoregressive (CAR) models, accommodating
		survey design effect (DEFF) adjustments. The 'rjags' package is
		employed to obtain parameter estimates via Gibbs Sampling. For
		references, see Rao and Molina (2015)
