MOESM1 of Prediction of the reliability of genomic breeding values for crossbred performance VandenplasJérémie WindigJack CalusMario 2017 Additional file 1. Derivation of the equation for predicting the reliability of genomic estimated breeding values without availability of data. Based on the mixed model theory, a derivation of the equation for predicting the reliability of genomic estimated breeding values is detailed in this document, assuming that effects of all independent loci are estimated simultaneously, and assuming a single population.
