Abstract excerpt
A Bayesian procedure is presented for detecting quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting longitudinal traits. The statistical model assumes a QTL affecting the prior distribution of the parameters of a given production function, under a hierarchical Bayesian scheme. Marginal posterior distributions for the effects associated with the QTL are calculated using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. Furthermore, the...
