Progress in breeding higher-yielding crop plants would be greatly accelerated if the
phenotypic consequences of making changes to the genetic makeup of an organism could …

Semiparametric procedures for prediction of total genetic value for quantitative traits, which
make use of phenotypic and genomic data simultaneously, are presented. The methods …

Relationships between production and diseases may involve recursive or simultaneous
effects between traits. Four structural equation models (SEqM) for somatic cell score and …

The relationship between milk yield and somatic cell score (log-transformed somatic cell
count) in dairy goats may involve complex pathways with recursive or simultaneous effects …

The objective of this study was to infer genetic parameters and genetic change for number of
clinical mastitis cases (NCM) and number of services to conception (STC) in first-lactation …

Statistical science is central to animal breeding and quantitative genetics. It would be
redundant to argue why; the case has been made at least since 1974, then at the Madrid …

In simultaneous models traits fully interact among themselves at the phenotypic scale. In a
recursive model trait 1 affects trait 2 but the opposite does not happen. For the recursive …

Cho and Lee (2004) proposed a Bayesian hierarchical error model (HEM) to account for
heterogeneous error variability in oligonucleotide microarray experiments. They estimated …

Recursive and simultaneous equation models have a long tradition in the econometrics
literature to describe feedback and recursiveness involving two or more variables. Here, a …

A method based on the analysis of recursive multiple trait models was used to analyze
whether dystocia negatively affects fertility in the next reproductive cycle. Recursive …
