A BLUP derivation of the multivariate breeder's equation, with an elucidation of errors in BLUP variance estimates, and a prediction method for inbred populations [PDF]
Modeling, Identification and Control, 2022 The multivariate breeder's equation, Lande (1979), was derived from the Price equation Price (1970,1972). Here, I present a derivation based on the BLUP (best linear unbiased predictions) equations in matrix form, first given in summation form by ...

Genetic Variability and Resistance to Orobanche in Oriental Nicotiana tabacum L. [PDF]
Agrotechniques in Industrial Crops, 2023 Broomrape as an obligate parasite that threatens tobacco production (Nicotiana tabacum L.), has destructive effects on its characteristics. The reduction in yield caused by this parasite is so great that sometimes farmers are forced to leave their fields

STRATEGIC POSITIONING OF THE NUTRITIONAL PROFILE OF WHEAT GRAINS BASED ON GENETIC PARAMETERS
Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2022 Background. Wheat is a staple food crop and easily accessible to the population, so the biofortification of wheat grains is substantial to mitigate malnutrition. Objective.

Statistical inference of a stochastically restricted linear mixed model
AIMS Mathematics, 2023 This article compares a predictor with the best linear unbiased predictor (BLUP) for a unified form of all unknown parameters under a stochastically restricted linear mixed model (SRLMM) in terms of the mean squared error matrix (MSEM) criterion.

Different methods to calculate genomic predictions—Comparisons of BLUP at the single nucleotide polymorphism level (SNP-BLUP), BLUP at the individual level (G-BLUP), and the one-step approach (H-BLUP) [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2012 Several strategies to use genomic data in predictions have been proposed. The aim of this study was to compare different genomic prediction methods. The response variables used in the genomic predictions were deregressed proofs, which were derived from 2 estimated breeding value (EBV) data sets.

Avoiding the misuse of BLUP in behavioural ecology [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2017 Having recognized that variation around the population-level "Golden Mean" of labile traits contains biologically meaningful information, behavioural ecologists have focused increasingly on exploring the causes and consequences of individual variation in behaviour.

Genome-wide Association Study (GWAS) and Its Application for Improving the Genomic Estimated Breeding Values (GEBV) of the Berkshire Pork Quality Traits [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2015 The missing heritability has been a major problem in the analysis of best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP). We introduced the traditional genome-wide association study (GWAS) into the BLUP to improve the heritability estimation.
