Abstract excerpt
To obtain estimates of breeding values by BLUP using Henderson's mixed-model equations, it is necessary to invert the covariance matrix for each random effect in the model. In a model in which the genotypic value is included as a random effect (genotypic model), it is necessary to invert the genotypic covariance matrix. Under additive inheritance, the inverse of the genotypic covariance matrix can be computed...
