Data included observations on more than 200,000 first lactations of Norwegian cattle. Milk yield, fat and protein percentages, and observations on mastitis, ketosis, and presence of disease (binary coding of 0 or 1) were analyzed. Following Bayesian principles and applying the threshold concept,...
