Estimation of variance components for production and fertility traits in Northern Thai dairy cattle to define optimal breeding strategies
Milk production in Thailand has been growing into an important agricultural sector, but it still faces numerous difficulties in environmental constraints. The main intention of this study was to identify significant environmental effects on production and fertility traits to give advices for farm management. Additionally, adjusting records for environmental impact is essential to define appropr...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimation of Parameters in Generalized Functional Linear Model
Sometimes, in practice, data are a function of another variable, which is called functional data. If the scalar response variable is categorical or discrete, and the covariates are functional, then a generalized functional linear model is used to analyze this type of data. In this paper, a truncated generalized functional linear model is studied and a maximum likelihood approach is used to esti...
متن کاملParallel computing applied to breeding value estimation in dairy cattle.
Continuous genetic evaluation of dairy cattle with test-day models is desired in Finland. However, the computing time for the genetic evaluation is 4 d and exceeds the minimum of a weekend. Three parallel implementations of the preconditioned conjugate gradient iterative solver were programmed and compared to identify the best strategy for solving mixed model equations using parallel computing....
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood for Variance Estimation in High-Dimensional Linear Models
The plots in Figure 1 from the main text were generated using various estimators of σ 0 , each of which was computed for 500 independent datasets (y, X). The datasets were generated according to the linear model (1)– (2) (equation references refer to the main text), with n = 500, p = 1000, σ 0 = 1, and η 2 0 = 4. We considered settings where β had various sparsity levels, indicated by a paramet...
متن کاملBreeding and Genetics: Dairy Cattle Breeding I
Humans obtain a number of products from animals. These include food, clothing, medical materials, companionship and research knowledge to name a few. A valued ethic contends that it is inappropriate for one to treat another as a means to an end. In short, it is wrong to treat another as simply a product. Historically, non-human beings have not been included as “others” and thus their treatment ...
