Title: | WOMBAT: A tool for mixed model analyses in quantitative genetics by restricted maximum likelihood (REML) | Contributor(s): | Meyer, Karin (author) | Publication Date: | 2007 | DOI: | 10.1631/jzus.2007.B0815 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/3628 | Abstract: | WOMBAT is a software package for quantitative genetic analyses of continuous traits, fitting a linear, mixed model; estimates of covariance components and the resulting genetic parameters are obtained by restricted maximum likelihood. A wide range of models, comprising numerous traits, multiple fixed and random effects, selected genetic covariance structures, random regression models and reduced rank estimation are accommodated. WOMBAT employs up-to-date numerical and computational methods. Together with the use of efficient compilers, this generates fast executable programs, suitable for large scale analyses. Use of WOMBAT is illustrated for a bivariate analysis. The package consists of the executable program, available for LINUX and WINDOWS environments, manual and a set of worked example, and can be downloaded free of charge from http://agbu.une.edu.au/~kmeyer/wombat.html | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Zhejiang University.
