Procedures for calculating the additive genetic variance-covariance matrix and its inverse are adapted to accommodate the occurrence of mutations in the genome. The inverse matrix can be used in mixed ...

The distribution of genetic variation among multiple traits is a key determinant of how a population will respond to selection (Lande, 1979; Schluter, 1996; Arnold et al., 2001). For the prediction of ...

The COV= option must be specified to compute an approximate covariance matrix for the parameter estimates under asymptotic theory for least-squares, maximum-likelihood, or Bayesian estimation, with or ...

The BLOCKS statement finds a design that maximizes the determinant |X'AX| of the treatment information matrix, where A depends on the block or covariate model. Alternatively, you can directly specify ...
