Models with indirect genetic effects depending on group sizes: a simulation study assessing the precision of the estimates of the dilution parameter

BACKGROUND: In settings with social interactions, the phenotype of an individual is affected by the direct genetic effect (DGE) of the individual itself and by indirect genetic effects (IGE) of its group mates. In the presence of IGE, heritable variance and response to selection depend on size of th...
