Abstract excerpt
We examined the prediction accuracies of genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP), various weighted GBLUP according to the degrees of marker effects (WGBLUP) and machine learning (ML) methods, and compared them with traditional BLUP for age at first calving (AFC), calving difficulty (CD), and gestation length in Japanese Black cattle. For WGBLUP, firstly, BayesC and FarmCPU were used to estimate marker...
