Using pooled data to estimate variance components and breeding values for traits affected by social interactions

Table 3 Scenarios used to simulate data

	Scenario^§	$σ_{A_{DI}}$	$σ_{E_{DI}}$	Group composition
Reference scenario	1	0.00	0.00	Four families
Different $σ_{A_{DI}}$	2	−0.50	0.00	Four families
Different $σ_{A_{DI}}$	3	0.50	0.00	Four families
Different $σ_{E_{DI}}$	4	0.00	−1.00	Four families
Different $σ_{E_{DI}}$	5	0.00	1.00	Four families
Different group compositions	6	0.00	0.00	Two families
	7	0.00	0.00	One family

^§ $σ_{A_{D}}^{2}$ and $σ_{A_{I}}^{2}$ were set to 1.00; $σ_{E_{D}}^{2}$ and $σ_{E_{I}}^{2}$ were set to 2.00.
