Title: | Estimating genetic covariance functions assuming a parametric correlation structure for environmental effects | Contributor(s): | Meyer, Karin (author) | Publication Date: | 2001 | DOI: | 10.1051/gse:2001102 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/5011 | Abstract: | Arandom regression model for the analysis of "repeated" records in animal breeding is described which combines a random regression approach for additive genetic and other random effects with the assumption of a parametric correlation structure for within animal covariances. Both stationary and non-stationary correlation models involving a small number of parameters are considered. Heterogeneity in within animal variances is modelled through polynomial variance functions. Estimation of parameters describing the dispersion structure of such model by restricted maximum likelihood 'via' an "average information" algorithm is outlined. An application to mature weight records of beef cow is given, and results are contrasted to those from analyses fitting sets of random regression coefcients for permanent environmental effects. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Genetics Selection Evolution, 33(6), p. 557-585 | Publisher: | BioMed Central Ltd | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1297-9686 0999-193X |
