Term
Key breeders equation
Definition
ΔBV/t = ( h2 * σp *i ) / L

*predicts the response to selection
*the chage in BV OR pheno Δ in a pop
Term
tradeoffs in breeders eq
Definition
ACCURACY VS L *older ind have highest accuracy *w/ old bulls ↑ accuracy BUT ↑L INTENSITY VS GEN INTERVAL *Choosing mostly old bulls and few new would inc i but also inc L  INTENSITY VS RISK *can control i by mating 1 bull to lots cows *if only keep new bulls, ↑i BUT but very risky (b/c new bulls have not been tested and could possibly prod low quality prog)
Term
genetic prediction
Definition
*predict ind BV using whatever info available (i.e mean prog pheno) but need to use accuracy to see how reliable our prediction

*predicting the genetic merit (BVs) using available info

*IMPORTANT B/C: better GP --> ↑h --> R (ΔBV)
if selecting ind based on BVs
Term
single source genetic prediction
Definition
*uses trait parameters to measure behavior of a trait in a pop (h2, H2, rep)
*making a prediction from 1 source of info

Prediction = Regression (b) * info

Info = P-bar,P(p) [aka mean progeny pheno]
Term
Factors needed to make a prediction
Definition
1) SLOPE OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INFO SOURCE & VALUE BEING PREDICTED
*h2 is the slope of a specific prediction (ind BV from P)
*need a regression (b) ==> to make a prediction


2) STRENGTH/ ACCURACY OF RELATION BET INFO & VALUE BEING PREDICTED
*to quantify and understand accuracy of prediction
*ned a correlation (r) ==> to interpret a prediction
Term
Visual representation of making a prediction
1) WHAT IS THE SLOPE
2) HOW TO PREDICT BV GIVEN INFO
3) WHAT IS THE ACCURACY/ WHAT IS OUR CONFIDENCE FOR THE PREDICTION
Definition
1) given by the true BVs (yax) that come from info(xax) --> best line

2) use info given --> follow up till hit slope --> go left until read BV on y axis

3)ACCURACY OF PREDICTION- represented by how spread apart the pts are from the best fit line
*best prediction would be on the line ==> the higher the spread, the more errors in pred (↓h)
*if CI big, an ind may have a BV way diff than what was predicted
Term
2 ways to solve for regression
Definition
1) EMPIRICAL APPROACH
2) ANALYTICAL APPROACH
Term
empirical approach
Definition
*generate lots of data (w/ lrg sample size) --> use to determine slope and accuracy
*use lots of data to find appropriate b for any # of progeny for a specific trait

ASSUMPTIONS:
*assume BV is true(b.c lots of info)
mean progeny pheno = true PD (so 2*P-bar = BV)

WHAT ARE THE BVs FOR THE BULLS
*use 2 * P-bar to find BV for each

WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE REGRESS
*for e. bull, grab a random # of progeny
*now can find b b/c have BV and info
Term
analytical approach
Definition
*using logic, algebra, etc to solve for the appropriate b

IF BULL HAD p PROGENY, HOW WOULD YOU PREDICT THE BV IN AN OPTIMAL WAY?

1) WHAT IS THE APPRPRAITE b FOR ____ PROGENY & h2=____?
*FIND THE SLOPE
* b = 2 [(p * h2) / (4 + (p-1)h2)]

2)HOW PREDICT THE BEST EST BV IF P-bar,P(p) =____?
*MAKE THE PREDICTION/ EST BV
* BV-cap = b * info

3) HOW ACCURATE IS THE EST OF IND BV?
* rbv,p = √ [ph2 / 4+(p-1)h2]
Term
factors that influence b
(for empirical app)
Definition
*depending on p and h2, b should be between 0-2

1) h2
* IF h2=0 ==> BV-cap=0 ==> b=0
*b/c h2=0 means no additive gentic variation for that trait --> so every ind in pop has BV=0 (no variation)
*there can still be pheno variation b/c E


2) # OF PROGENY
*IF h2 = 0, # PROG=∞ ==> P-bar=0
*P would only be influenced by E and overall P-bar=0 (noise and randomness goes away)
*PD is the truth ==> if have more progeny, move closer towards the true dev of the ind progeny from the pop mean

*IF h2>0, # PROG=∞ ==> BV-cap=2PD ==> b=2
*PD = P-bar (the men progeny pheno would be the true PD BV =2PD)


3) TYPE AND AMOUNT OF INFO
*so can rank ind based on BVs --> more h --> able to choose best ind --> better R
Term
factors that influence b
(for analytical app)
Definition
b= 2[(ph2)/(4+(p-1)h2)]

1) h2
*h2=0 ==> b=0
*b/c no matter mean prog pheno, we know its due to noise (not ind BV)
*if h2=0, no variation in BV
*0 in numerator


2) # PROGENY
*h2>0, p=∞ ==> b=2
*b/c as h2 OR #p ↑, the ratio for b approached 2


3) TYPE AND AMOUNT OF DATA
*when have a limited amount of data, attritbute some deviation to random effects b/c they could also create a + P-bar
*when have a limited # of ind and low h2, more noise contrib to dev, so less confident
*the more info (↑#prog, ↑h2) --> the more can be attributed to genetics itself as opposed to outside noise
Term
Sampling formulas from a single source of info for b and h
Definition
* if you are trying to predict BV-cap from A SINGLE (NONREPEATED) PERFORMANCE RECORD ON THE IND, then b is h2 and accuracy is h


*if you are trying to predict BV-cap from THE AVERAGE OF SINGLE RECORDS ON p PROGENY, then b is 2ph2/4+(p-1)h2 and h is √[ph2 / 4+(p-1)h2]
Term
confidence range
Definition
68% COFIDENCE
CI = BV-cap ± √[(1-r^2)(σ^2bv)]

95% CONDIFDENCE
CI = BV-cap ± 2√[(1-r^2)(σ^2bv)]
Term
Forming a confidence range
Definition
h2 = σ^2bv / σ^2p

WHAT WOULD THE CI INTERVAL BE/ WHAT IS THE RANGE OF POSSIBLE VALUES
*use IC formulas
Term
Accuracy Relationships
Definition
*theres a relationship between h and infosource (correlation bet BV-cap)
*theres a relationship between h and CI for the estimate
*if know b and h for any partic type or amount of info, you can make and interpret estimates b/c can quantify the CI around the estimate
Term
Predict an ind BV from own pheno value
Definition
*single source genetic prediction
* I = b * x

I: predicion
b: slope
x: own info (EX: pheno value)
Term
Multiple source genetic prediction
Definition
*have mult sources and slopes --> sum them

I = b1x1 + b2x2 + ... + bnxn

ASSUMPTIONS:
*b depends on e.other ==> the larger thb the more wt being put on the source
*b for e ind source depends on other sources and amount of info
*when have diff amounts of info, diff wts are put on the info sources; some sources are more valuable than others
Term
Problem with MSGP (index that combines multiple traits)
Definition
*an ind has multp Vs (one for e. trait) so how do you rank an ind if you give equal consid to all traits

SOLN: you can take mult BVs and come up with an index that ranks ind w/ combined estimates across mult traits (get 1 # while considering mult traits)
Term
Net merit index (H)
Definition
*how you rank ind in a quant way
*what is an ind overall merit when consider mult traits

H = VT1BV-capT1 + ...

V: relative economic value

PATTERNS

+BV and -V
*make product of the two - ==> ↓H


-BV and -V
*make the product of the two + ==> ↑H

*by having a - V you are still emphasizing ind w/ -BVs
Term
BVs with different magnitudes
Definition
*if BVs are in diff magnitudes (cm, lbs, etc), fix it by normalizing --> convert them to SD and putting them all on same scale

1) CONVERT TO SD
* BV-cap / σ(whole)
Term
index with mult traits
Definition
*diff indexes put diff weights on traits depending on emphasis in selection
*for realtive wt, i values means emphasizing ind w/ low P (so take abs value to find most and least emphasized)
*if want to dec P-bar in a pop, choose - V
