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 ...

We present in this paper general formulas for deriving the maximum likelihood estimates and the asymptotic variance-covariance matrix of the positions and effects of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in ...

The BLOCKS statement finds a design that maximizes the determinant |X'AX| of the treatment information matrix, where A depends on the block or covariate model. Alternatively, you can directly specify ...

A symbolic formula is given for the square-root-free Cholesky decomposition of the variance-covariance matrix of the multinomial distribution. The evaluation of the symbolic Cholesky factors requires ...
