REML Variance-Component Estimation
In the numerous forms of analysis of variance (ANOVA) discussed in previous chapters, variance components were estimated by equating observed mean squares to expressions describing their expected values, these being functions of the variance components. ANOVA has the nice feature that the estimators for the variance components are unbiased regardless of whether the data are normally distributed...
متن کاملLeast-squares variance component estimation
Least-squares variance component estimation (LS-VCE) is a simple, flexible and attractive method for the estimation of unknown variance and covariance components. LS-VCE is simple because it is based on the well-known principle of LS; it is flexible because it works with a userdefined weight matrix; and it is attractive because it allows one to directly apply the existing body of knowledge of L...
متن کاملMethods of Embryo Sexing in Cattle Breeding: A Review
Different livestock sectors as beef industries get benefit from the production of male animals while dairy industries get benefit from the milk production by the female animals. Therefore, it is obvious need to produce the animals of desired sex which can be achieved by predetermining the sex of conceptus at the time of conception i.e. pre determination of sex may be of great economic importanc...
متن کاملAn integrated environment for genetic evaluation: databases, variance component estimation and genetic evaluation in the Saxon Swine Breeding Program
In swine breeding programs multivariate genetic evaluation are state of the art considering jointly many different traits from different sources on current and past animals. The structure of the Saxon Swine breeding program serves as an example for the various data sources. As a routine operation, investment in a central data repository or an integrated database creates a flexible, safe and eff...
