Genetic parameters for post weaning growth of Nellore cattle using polinomyals and trigonometric functions in random regression models Parâmetros genéticos para crescimento pós-desmame de bovinos Nelore por meio de funções polinomiais e trigonométricas em modelos de regressão aleatória

Covariance functions and random regression models have been considered as an alternative for data adjustment, in sequence, stemming from the same animal along time and which presents a structured pattern of covariance. Aiming to evaluate the performance of random regression models based on the Legen...
