Short communication: alteration of priors for random effects in Gaussian linear mixed models.

Abstract excerpt

Linear mixed models, for which the prior multivariate normal distributions of random effects are assumed to have a mean equal to 0, are commonly used in animal breeding. However, some statistical analyses (e.g., the consideration of a population under selection into a genomic scheme breeding, multiple-trait predictions of lactation yields, and Bayesian approaches integrating external information into genetic...
