A comparison of empirical BLUP with different considerations of residual error variance for genotype evaluation of multi-location trials

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2019
The empirical best linear unbiased prediction (eBLUP) is usually based on the assumption that the residual error variance (REV) is homogenous. This may be unrealistic, and therefore limits the accuracy of genotype evaluations for multi-location trials ...

A novel analytical method, Birth Date Selection Mapping, detects response of the Angus (Bos taurus) genome to selection on complex traits

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background Several methods have recently been developed to identify regions of the genome that have been exposed to strong selection. However, recent theoretical and empirical work suggests that polygenic models are required to identify the genomic ...

Enhancing enviromics based predictions in common bean multi-environment trials

Scientific Reports
Enviromic approaches enhance predictive models by incorporating environmental data into selection frameworks. By integrating factor analytic (FA) models, enviromics, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the GIS-FA method was proposed to improve ...

Trends in temperature-related age-specific and sex-specific mortality from cardiovascular diseases in Spain: a national time-series analysis

The Lancet Planetary Health, 2019
Summary: Background: Climate change driven by human activities has increased annual temperatures in Spain by around 1°C since 1980. However, little is known regarding the extent to which the association between temperature and mortality has changed ...

SMALL AREA ESTIMATION WITH HIERARCHICAL BAYES FOR CROSS-SECTIONAL AND TIME SERIES SKEWED DATA

Barekeng
Small Area Estimation (SAE) is a method based on modeling for estimating small area parameters, that applies Linear Mixed Model (LMM) as its basic. It is conventionally solved with Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (EBLUP).

Application of Small Area Estimation for Estimation of Sub-District Level Poverty in Bengkulu Province: Comparison of Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (EBLUP) and Hierarchical Bayesian (HB) Methods

Journal of Statistics and Data Science
Poverty is an important problem facing the world. Various ways are done to eradicate poverty. In planning poverty alleviation, policy makers need detailed information down to the smallest area level that can be produced. Currently, the demand for estimation at the small area level is increasing, while the success of estimation using the indirect method

Stage-wise selection of tropical wheat populations using univariate and multivariate BLUP models

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology
Plant breeding programs often involve several segregating populations that must be selected for multiple traits. This study aimed to identify tropical wheat populations combining earliness and high grain yield (GY) using univariate and multivariate best ...
