Published on Oct 30, 2025 by Arcadia Science A quantitative-genetic decomposition of a neural network
We tested equivalent linear mapping (ELM) on a neural network trained to predict phenotypes from genotypes in simulated data. We show that ELM successfully recapitulates additive and epistatic effects learned by the model, even in data with substantial environmental noise.
