Estimation of prediction error variances via Monte Carlo sampling methods using different formulations of the prediction error variance [PDF]
Calculation of the exact prediction error variance covariance matrix is often computationally too demanding, which limits its application in REML algorithms, the calculation of accuracies of estimated breeding values and the control of variance of ...

Norwegian dairy farmer's preferences for breeding goal traits and associations with herd and farm characteristics [PDF]
The aims of this study were to investigate variation and clustering in breeding goal trait preferences among Norwegian dairy farmers and to identify factors with a systematic influence on their preferences. An internet-based questionnaire was sent out to
