Estimation of the dominance merit in noninbred populations without recourse to its inverted relationship matrix.

Abstract excerpt

This study presents a new approach to obtain dominance estimates without using the full Henderson's mixed model equations (MMEs) related to an additive plus dominance animal model. This reduction could decrease substantially the computing time and hence its cost. In contrast to a procedure that we proposed before, the method developed in this paper does not require D(-1) and provides best linear unbiased...
