the objective of this study was to compare six statistical methods for prediction of genomic breedingvalues for traits with different genetic architecture in term of gene effects distributions and number ofquantitative traits loci (qtls). a genome consisted of 500 bi-allelic single nucleotide polymorphism(snp) markers distributed over a chromosomes with 100 cm length was simulated. three differ...

If the influence diagram (ID) depicting a Bayesian game is common knowledge to its players then additional assumptions may allow the players to make use of its embodied irrelevance statements. They can then use these to discover a simpler game which still embodies both their optimal decision policies. However the impact of this result has been rather limited because many common Bayesian games d...

The Bayesian estimation of the conditional Gaussian parameter needs to define several a priori parameters. The proposed approach is free from this definition of priors. We use the Implicit estimation method for learning from observations without a prior knowledge. We illustrate the interest of such an estimation method by giving first the Bayesian Expectation A Posteriori estimator for conditio...
