The rapid development of remote sensing in agronomic research allows the dynamic nature
of longitudinal traits to be adequately described, which may enhance the genetic …

'Repeated'measurements for a trait and individual, taken along some continuous scale such
as time, can be thought of as representing points on a curve, where both means and …

Background Birth weight (BW) is an economically important trait in beef cattle, and is
associated with growth-and stature-related traits and calving difficulty. One region of the …

Genetic parameters for body weight at ages over approximately 120 days are scarce in Nile
tilapia. In this study, genetic parameters for body weight in Nile tilapia were estimated for …

Properties of random regression models using linear splines (RRMS) were evaluated with
respect to scale of parameters, numerical properties, changes in variances and strategies to …

El crecimiento animal es uno de los aspectos más importantes al momento de evaluar la
productividad en las explotaciones dedicadas a la producción de carne y en algunos casos …

Livestock mature at different rates depending, in part, on their genetic merit; therefore, the
optimal age at slaughter for progeny of certain sires may differ. The objective of the present …

The accessibility of high‐throughput phenotyping platforms in both the greenhouse and
field, as well as the relatively low cost of unmanned aerial vehicles, has provided …

The objective of this study was to estimate (co) variance functions using random regression
models on Legendre polynomials for the analysis of repeated measures of BW from birth to …
