Genome-Wide Association Study Based on Random Regression Model Reveals Candidate Genes Associated with Longitudinal Data in Chinese Simmental Beef Cattle [PDF]
Body weight (BW) is an important longitudinal trait that directly described the growth gain of bovine in production. However, previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) mainly focused on the single-record traits, with less attention paid to ...

A Random Regression Model Based on a Single-Step Method for Improving the Genomic Prediction Accuracy of Residual Feed Intake in Pigs [PDF]
Residual feed intake (RFI) is considered as a measurement of feed efficiency, which is greatly related to the growth performance in pigs. Daily feeding records can be obtained from automatic feeders.

Model-based random forests for ordinal regression [PDF]
AbstractWe study and compare several variants of random forests tailored to prognostic models for ordinal outcomes. Models of the conditional odds function are employed to understand the various random forest flavours. Existing random forest variants for ordinal outcomes, such as Ordinal Forests and Conditional Inference Forests, are evaluated in the ...

Estimation of genetic parameters and trends for production traits of dairy cattle in Thailand using a multiple-trait multiple-lactation test day model [PDF]
Objective The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic parameters and trends for milk, fat, and protein yields in the first three lactations of Thai dairy cattle using a 3-trait,-3-lactation random regression test-day model.

Age-dependent genetic and environmental variance of semen quality in Nordic Holstein bulls
: The aim of this study was to estimate genetic and environmental parameters, across bull's age, for semen quality traits including pre- and postcryopreservation semen concentration, sperm motility, and sperm viability as well as ejaculate volume and ...

Random partition models with regression on covariates [PDF]
Many recent applications of nonparametric Bayesian inference use random partition models, i.e. probability models for clustering a set of experimental units. We review the popular basic constructions. We then focus on an interesting extension of such models.
