the objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of estimating and predicting breeding values using two diverse approaches, gblup and bayesc, using simulated data under different quantitative trait locus(qtl) effect distributions. data were simulated with three different distributions for the qtl effect which were uniform, normal and gamma (1.66, 0.4). the number of qtl was assumed to be...

The aim of this paper is to price an option in a multiperiod binomial model, when there is uncertainty on the states of the world at each node of the tree. As a consequence, also the stock price at each state takes imprecise values. Possibility distributions are used to handle this type of problems. The pricing methodology is still based on a risk neutral valuation approach, but, as a consequen...

introduction genetic evaluation and estimation of breeding value are one of the most fundamental elements of breeding programmes for genetic improvement. recently, genomic selection has become an efficient method to approach this aim. the accuracy of estimated genomic breeding value is the most important factor in genomic selection. different studies have been performed addressing the factors a...
