A list with 7 elements:

• A A dense matrix capturing the connections between spatially adjacent census tracts in Allegheny County.

• sA A sparse matrix representation of the census tracts' adjacency matrix.

• xy A matrix indicating the spatial location of each census tract.

• f Artificial signal with inhomogeneous smoothness across nodes and two sharp peaks near the center. This signal is formed using a mixture of five Gaussians in the underlying spatial coordinates.

• y Noisy version of the signal.

• f1 Synthetic signal, possibly generated with specific smoothness parameters.

• geo Geometry data for the census tract nodes.
