EM algorithm for Bayesian estimation of genomic breeding values

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In genomic selection, a model for prediction of genome-wide breeding value (GBV) is constructed by estimating a large number of SNP effects that are included in a model. Two Bayesian methods based on MCMC algorithm, Bayesian shrinkag...
