Connectivity matrices for the precisions Σ−1. Three situations were explored: (a) spatial independence with a diagonal precision matrix, (b) nearest-neighbour dependency with partial autocorrelations existing only between nodes close to each other, (c) nearest-neighbour topology with a ‘master’ node linked to all other nodes in the network.
