Selection indexes using principal component analysis for reproductive, beef and milk traits in Simmental cattle.

Abstract excerpt

The principal component analysis is a multivariate technique that allows researchers to explore relationships between explanatory variables and traits of interest. The objective of this study was to construct selection indexes for tropical dual-purpose Simmental cattle based on principal components. The evaluated traits...
