Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: SNP (single nucleotide polymorphisms) genotype data are increasingly available in cattle populations and, among other things, can be used to predict carriers of specific haplotypes. It is therefore convenient to have a practical statistical method for the accurate classification of individuals into carriers and non-carriers. In this paper, we present a procedure combining variable selection (i.e. the...
