 ###############################
 # Simulate data
 ###############################
 simulation <- simulateData(G = 100, etaA = 0.02, n = 50, r = 1)
 dat <- simulation$data[[1L]]
 stddat <- scale(x = dat, center = TRUE, scale = TRUE)

 shrinkage.lambda <- lambda.TargetD(x = stddat)

 ###############################
 # the ridge parameter
 ###############################
 ridge.lambda <- shrinkage.lambda / (1.0 - shrinkage.lambda)

 ###############################
 # partial correlation matrix
 ###############################
 partial <- solve(cor(dat) + ridge.lambda * diag(ncol(dat)))
 partial <- -scaledMat(x = partial)

 ###############################
 # Fisher's Z transformation of 
 # upper diagonal of the partial

 ###############################
 w.upper <- which(upper.tri(diag(nrow(dat))))
 psi <- transFisher(x = partial[w.upper])
