Fast genomic prediction of breeding values using parallel Markov chain Monte Carlo with convergence diagnosis

Abstract Background Running multiple-chain Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) provides an efficient parallel computing method for complex Bayesian models, although the efficiency of the approach critically depends on the length of the non-parallelizable burn-in period, for which all simulated data are...
