Here,
corresponds to spatial partial correlations between variable j and
conditioning on
and k. An analogous definition holds for
and the respective average is given by
. SpaCeNet's leading order association strength is given by Δρ(1) with positive signs corresponding to negative associations in line with the definition of the precision matrix of ordinary
GGMs.
