Accelerating computation: A pairwise fitting technique for multivariate probit models

Computational Statistics & Data Analysis
Fitting multivariate probit models via maximum likelihood presents considerable computational challenges, particularly in terms of computation time and convergence difficulties, even for small numbers of responses. These issues are exacerbated when dealing with ordinal data. An efficient computational approach is introduced, based on a pairwise fitting

Is There a Genetic Link Between Resting Infrared Thermography in Young Horses and Longevity in Jumping Competition?

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective was to evaluate the genetic relationship between the surface temperature of regions of interest, measured using infrared images of young horses and functional longevity in jumping. This relationship was assessed by comparing the temperatures measured in the offspring of two groups of sires, one favourable and one unfavourable, to
