Bayesian estimation of parameters of a structural model for genetic covariances between milk yield in five regions of the United States.

Abstract excerpt

Inference about genetic covariance matrices using multiple-trait models is often hindered by lack of information. This leads to imprecise estimates of genetic parameters and of breeding values. Patterns in a genetic covariance matrix can be exploited to reduce the number of parameters and to incr...
