Inferring genetic values and variances from pre-processed phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

It is common in quantitative genetics to submit phenotypes to pre-processing prior to data analysis. The objective is to make computations simpler. In areas where field data is observational, e.g., studies of complex traits, records are often pre-adjusted for nuisance factors such as location, demographical structure and macroenvironments, that may mask expression of genetic values. The nuisance effects may be...
