Nonparametric method for genomics-based prediction of performance of quantitative traits involving epistasis in plant breeding.

Genomic selection (GS) procedures have proven useful in estimating breeding value and predicting phenotype with genome-wide molecular marker information. However, issues of high dimensionality, multicollinearity, and the inability to deal effectively with epistasis can jeopardize accuracy and predic...
