rTBV;EBV + SE | bTBV.EBV + SE | |
---|---|---|
LS | 0.318 ± 0.018 | 0.285 ± 0.024 |
BLUP | 0.732 ± 0.030 | 0.896 ± 0.045 |
BayesA | 0.798 | 0.827 |
BayesB | 0.848 + 0.012 | 0.946 + 0.018 |
Mean of five replicated simulations, except for BayesA which is based on one replicate. LS, least squares; BLUP, best linear unbiased prediction; BayesA, Bayesian method with inverse chi-square prior distribution; BayesB, Bayesian method where the prior density of having zero QTL effects was increased; rTBV;EBV, correlation between estimated and true breeding values (equals accuracy of selection); bTBV;EBV, regression of true on estimated breeding value.
