Estimation of Genetic Trends for Test-Day Milk Yield by the Logarithmic Form of Wood Function Using a Random Regression Model
Estimation of genetic trends is necessary to monitor and evaluate selection programs. The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic trends for milk yield in Iranian Holsteins cows using random regression test day model. Data set was consisted of 743205 test-day records from 1991 to 2008, which were collected by the Animal Breeding Centre of Iran. Breeding, environmental and phenotypic...
متن کاملSome results on Haar wavelets matrix through linear algebra
Can we characterize the wavelets through linear transformation? the answer for this question is certainly YES. In this paper we have characterized the Haar wavelet matrix by their linear transformation and proved some theorems on properties of Haar wavelet matrix such as Trace, eigenvalue and eigenvector and diagonalization of a matrix.
متن کاملAnalytical Solutions for Spatially Variable Transport-Dispersion of Non-Conservative Pollutants
Analytical solutions have been obtained for both conservative and non-conservative forms of one-dimensional transport and transport-dispersion equations applicable for pollution as a result of a non-conservative pollutant-disposal in an open channel with linear spatially varying transport velocity and nonlinear spatially varying dispersion coefficient on account of a steady unpolluted lateral i...
متن کاملThe allometry and scaling of the size of vertebrate eyes
We compiled data from the literature and colleagues to examine the relationship between eye axial length and body weight for vertebrates as well as birds, mammals, reptiles, and fishes independently. After fitting the data to logarithmic and semi-logarithmic models, we found that axial length of vertebrate eyes does obey a conventional logarithmic relationship with body weight rather than a sem...
متن کاملClassification and Powerlaws: The Logarithmic Transformation
Logarithmic transformation of the data has been recommended by the literature in the case of highly skewed distributions such as those commonly found in information science. The purpose of the transformation is to make the data conform to the lognormal law of error for inferential purposes. How does this transformation affect the analysis? We factor analyze and visualize the citation environmen...
