Emerging behavioral data in the phenomics era and the need for new models. a Behavioral phenotyping for social interactions results in a matrix of dyadic interactions, Zs, that can be collapsed to individual behavioral data (w and y). b Existing genomics and phenomics data can be integrated with behavioral phenotypes. c Classic genomic evaluation models focus on multi-trait analyses of individual behaviors or on social genetic effects models where the interaction matrix is used as a predictor of existing phenotypes. d In novel models, multi-trait analyses have to include full behavioral matrices to be able to predict the dyadic interactions from rker data
