Abstract excerpt
Our objectives were to compare a two-step model and a joint procedure via random regression model for evaluating weight gain of beef bulls, weighed every 28 d on 140-d test, and to estimate genetic, environmental, and phenotypic parameters. Two-step analysis consisted of fitting fixed linear regressions to weights of each bull to determine weight gain on test. In the second step, gain on test was analyzed by a...
