Genetic Analysis of Sheep Discrete Reproductive Traits Using Simulation and Field Data
The applicability of restricted maximum likelihood (REML) in genetic analyses of categorical data was evaluated using simulation and field data. Four genetic models were used to simulate underlying phenotypic variates, which were derived as the sum of additive genetic and environmental effects (Mode...
