Step functions f (W ), g(W ), and η(W ) fitted to the data in condition (ϑ, ζ) = (45, 0): f ≈ 0 suggests that the partial correlations are centered around zero for all values of W, and η ≈ 1, that the shrinkage induced by g is strong enough and/or there is not a large proportion of exactly zero Ω entries; g increases with W, which means that the partial correlations are penalized more for neurons that are farther apart.
