Relationship between the realized prediction accuracy \({\text{R}}=\widehat{{\text{cor}}}\left({\widetilde{\mathbf{g}}}_{2},{\mathbf{y}}_{2}\right)\) and (a) the REML heritability estimates \({\widehat{{\text{h}}}}^{2}\); (b) the squared accuracy of the breeding values of the reference population, \({\uprho }^{2}={\widehat{{\text{cor}}}}^{2}\left({\widehat{\mathbf{g}}}_{1},{\mathbf{y}}_{1}\right)\). Results presented are of the 500 replicates of simulated phenotypes for each \({{\text{h}}}^{2}\)
