Covariance function of Legendre polynomials for the modeling of Polled Nellore cattle growth in northern Brazil

This study aimed to compare random regression models fitted by Legendre orthogonal polynomials and determine which best fits changes in Nellore cattle growth parameters. Age polynomial functions of different orders were evaluated using a random-effect modeling associated with a genetic study of catt...
