Genome-wide prediction of discrete traits using Bayesian regressions and machine learning.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genomic selection has gained much attention and the main goal is to increase the predictive accuracy and the genetic gain in livestock using dense marker information. Most methods dealing with the large p (number of covariates) small n (number of observations) problem have dealt only with continuous traits, but there are many important traits in livestock that are recorded in a discrete fashion (e.g....
