Abstract excerpt
Inverses of relationship matrices are useful for prediction of individual additive or nonadditive genetic merits and for estimation of variance components. An algorithm to form inverses of additive by additive relationship matrices rapidly from lists of individuals and their parents was developed. The algorithm uses simple recurrences among additive by additive and sire-dam combination effects to construct...
