Abstract excerpt
Restricted maximum-likelihood procedures were developed to estimate additive and nonadditive genetic and environmental covariances for multiple traits in multibreed populations. The computational procedure follows the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, where the set of equations in the maximization step is solved by successive approximations. This computational procedure does not guarantee convergence to a...
