Consider a fixed number of clustered areas identified by their geographical coordinate that are monitored for the occurrences of an event such as pandemic, epidemic, migration to name a few. Data collected on units at all areas include time varying covariates and other environmental factors that may affect event occurrences. The event times in every area can be independent. They can also be correlated with correlation between two units induced by an unobservable frailty. In both cases, the collected data is considered pairwise to account for spatial correlation between all pair of areas. The pairwise right censored data is probit-transformed …
