HERITABILITY AND BREEDING VALUE OF SHEEP FERTILITY ESTIMATED BY MEANS OF THE GIBBS SAMPLING METHOD USING THE LINEAR AND THRESHOLD MODELS [PDF]
Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2013 The research was carried out on 4,030 Polish Merino ewes born in the years 1991- 2001, kept in 15 flocks from the Pomorze and Kujawy region. Fertility of ewes in subsequent reproduction seasons was analysed with the use of multiple logistic regression ...

Modeling missing pedigree in single-step genomic BLUP [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2019 The objective was to compare methods of modeling missing pedigree in single-step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP). Options for modeling missing pedigree included ignoring the missing pedigree, unknown parent groups (UPG) based on A (the numerator relationship matrix) or H (the unified pedigree and genomic relationship matrix), and metafounders.

Die Robustheit von BLUP und EBLUP [PDF]
Archives Animal Breeding, 1999 Abstract. Title of the paper: The Robustness of BLUP and EBLUP The expectations of BLP and BLUP used as estimator for fixed effects and as predictor for random effects were investigated concerning the property "unbiasedness". Different aspects of robustness research on prediction procedures are discussed.

Comparison of alternative approaches to single-trait genomic prediction using genotyped and non-genotyped Hanwoo beef cattle. [PDF]
, 2017 BackgroundGenomic predictions from BayesA and BayesB use training data that include animals with both phenotypes and genotypes. Single-step methodologies allow additional information from non-genotyped relatives to be included in the analysis. The single-
