Procedures for calculating the additive genetic variance-covariance matrix and its inverse are adapted to accommodate the occurrence of mutations in the genome. The inverse matrix can be used in mixed ...

The COV= option must be specified to compute an approximate covariance matrix for the parameter estimates under asymptotic theory for least-squares, maximum-likelihood, or Bayesian estimation, with or ...

The distribution of genetic variation among multiple traits is a key determinant of how a population will respond to selection (Lande, 1979; Schluter, 1996; Arnold et al., 2001). For the prediction of ...
