In order to evaluate the statistical properties of the variance components method implemented in SOLAR and GENEHUNTER2, the type I error rate, power and estimated ...
The problem of estimating the variance of the ratio estimator in sampling with probability proportional to aggregate size is investigated. The form of nonnegative unbiased variance estimators is found ...
Three estimates of heritability are available from the half-sib pedigree design: the sire, dam and genotypic estimates. Because of its significantly smaller standard error, the genotypic estimate is ...
