Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Inferring dominance hierarchies is key to quantifying social dynamics within animal groups. Observed dyadic agonistic interactions remain an important source of data for studying dominance hierarchies. As a result, numerous (statistical) approaches attempt to derive and characterize dominance hierarchies from dyadic interactions. However, most
