Abstract excerpt
Complex networks with causal relationships among variables are pervasive in biology. Their study, however, requires special modeling approaches. Structural equation models (SEM) allow the representation of causal mechanisms among phenotypic traits and inferring the magnitude of causal relationships. This information is important not only in understanding how variables relate to each other in a biological system,...
