Enhancing genome-enabled prediction by bagging genomic BLUP.

We examined whether or not the predictive ability of genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) could be improved via a resampling method used in machine learning: bootstrap aggregating sampling ("bagging"). In theory, bagging can be useful when the predictor has large variance or whe...
