RDAforest: Identifying Environmental Drivers of Polygenic Adaptation Identifying environmental gradients driving genetic adaptation is one of the major goals of ecological genomics. We present RDAforest, a methodology that leverages the predominantly polygenic nature ....

🧪 We show this problem with turnover-based predictions in simulations described in our paper on #RDAforest. Solution: use boundaries from turnover-based predictions, but rely on direct predictions from #randomforest to infer states. doi.org/10.1111/1755...
