Identifying early indicator traits for sow longevity using a linear-threshold model in Thai Large White and Landrace females [PDF]
Animal Bioscience, 2021 Objective The objective of the study was to investigate the possibility of utilizing an early litter size trait as an indirect selection trait for longevity and to estimate genetic parameters between sow stayability and litter size at different parities ...

Estimation of quantitative genetic parameters [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005 This paper gives a short review of the development of genetic parameter estimation over the last 40 years. This shows the development of more statistically and computationally efficient methods that allow the fitting of more biologically appropriate models. Methods have evolved from direct methods based on covariances between relatives to methods based

Dynamic Parameter Encoding for Genetic Algorithms [PDF]
Machine Learning, 1992 The common use of static binary place-value codes for real-valued parameters of the phenotype in Holland's genetic algorithm (GA) forces either the sacrifice of representational precision for efficiency of search or vice versa. Dynamic Parameter Encoding (DPE) is a mechanism that avoids this dilemma by using convergence statistics derived from the GA ...
