Multiple-trait restricted maximum likelihood for simulated measures of ovulation rate with underlying multivariate normal distributions.

Journal of animal science - 1 Jan 1992

Abstract excerpt

A data set that was used to estimate covariance components with REML for an animal model with eight measures of ovulation rate treated as separate traits was used as a template to simulate data sets of eight multivariate normal traits that were then truncated to binomial traits. The model for sim...
