Biased estimates of diminishing-returns epistasis? Empirical evidence revisited.

Abstract excerpt

Empirical evidence for diminishing fitness returns of beneficial mutations supports Fisher's geometric model. We show that a similar pattern emerges through the phenomenon of regression to the mean and that few studies correct for it. Although biases are often small, regression to the mean has ov...
