A comparison of empirical BLUP with different considerations of residual error variance for genotype evaluation of multi-location trials

Abstract The empirical best linear unbiased prediction (eBLUP) is usually based on the assumption that the residual error variance (REV) is homogenous. This may be unrealistic, and therefore limits the accuracy of genotype evaluations for multi-location trials, where the REV often varies across loc...
