Using the Pareto principle in genome-wide breeding value estimation

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Genome-wide breeding value (GWEBV) estimation methods can be classified based on the prior distribution assumptions of marker effects. Genome-wide BLUP methods assume a normal prior distribution for all markers with a constant variance, and are computationally fa...
