The objectives of this study were to determine the selection potential (genetic variation) of sow efficiency traits (prolificacy, longevity), to understand the co-responses (genetic correlations) among sow efficiency traits and other economically important traits (performance, carcass quality, and meat quality), and determine the feasibility of developing breeding value estimates for sow effici...

This has motivated a systematic analysis of risk measures which satisfy some minimal requirements of coherence and consistency. Our focus will be on the basic structure theorems for convex risk measures, on the role of law-invariance, and on ...
