Bayesian prediction of breeding values for multivariate binary and continuous traits in simulated horse populations using threshold–linear models with Gibbs sampling

Simulated data were used to determine the properties of multivariate prediction of breeding values for categorical and continuous traits using phenotypic, molecular genetic and pedigree information by mixed linear–threshold animal models via Gibbs sampling. Simulation parameters were chosen such tha...
