Abstract excerpt
BLUP (best linear unbiased prediction) is the standard for predicting breeding values, where different assumptions can be made on variance-covariance structure, which may influence predictive ability. Herein, we compare accuracy of prediction of four derived-BLUP models: (a) a pedigree relationship matrix (PBLUP), (b) a genomic relationship matrix (GBLUP), (c) a weighted genomic relationship matrix (WGBLUP) and...
