Abstract excerpt
A Bayesian model for quantitative genetic analysis of longitudinal traits is presented. It connects the model known as the Kalman filter (KF) with the standard mixed model of quantitative genetics. The KF model can be implemented easily in a Bayesian framework because, under standard prior assumptions, all fully conditional posterior distributions have closed forms.
