To obtain regression parameter estimates in generalized estimation equation modeling, whether longitudinal or spatially correlated data, it is necessary to specify the structure of working correlation matrix. The can be affected by choice this Within spatial statistics, matrix also influences how variability modeled. Therefore, study proposes a new method for selecting matrix, based on conditio...

Genomic selection (GS) offers the possibility to estimate the effects of genome-wide molecular markers, which can be used to calculate genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) for individuals without phenotypes. GEBVs can serve as a selection criterion in recurrent GS, maximizing single-cycle but not necessarily long-term genetic gain. As simple genome-wide sums, GEBVs do not take into account...
