Standard errors of solutions in large scale mixed models, application to linear and curvilinear effects of inbreeding on production traits.

Therefore, the objectives of this work were the following: (a) to study the effect of individual and maternal inbreeding on reproductive, growth and carcass traits in the

Expected progeny di fferences (EPD) for heteroskedastic error versus ho- moskedastic error models based on (a) linear mixed model analysis of birthweights and (b) cumulative probit

Our results indicate that BLUP selection on socially af- fected traits results in greater rates of inbreeding than BLUP selection solely for direct genetic effect, regardless of

No clear relationship was found between the estimates of dominance and additive variance; larger negative estimates of the inbreeding depression were associated with

First, the noise density was systematically assumed known and different estimators have been proposed: kernel estimators (e.g. Ste- fanski and Carroll [1990], Fan [1991]),

In this section, we adapt the results of Kappus and Mabon (2014) who proposed a completely data driven procedure in the framework of density estimation in deconvo- lution problems

Since the individual parameters inside the NLMEM are not observed, we propose to combine the EM al- gorithm usually used for mixtures models when the mixture structure concerns

Simulation protocol to study the impact of floating-point precision in sequential large-scale multilateration where Pj is a nominal TI position j, Dzj is the dead-zone of Pj, Mi
