From: Sensitivity of methods for estimating breeding values using genetic markers to the number of QTL and distribution of QTL variance

Figure 1

Plot of the accuracies of MEBV calculated with BM, LARS and PLSR as affected by the simulated number of QTL. The plots display the accuracies of 60 replicated simulations for number of QTL around 35, 172 and 343 plus the accuracies of 10 replicated simulation with number of QTL around 227 and 285 in the scenarios of unequal QTL variance. The variance of every tenth QTL was 81 times larger than variance of remaining QTL (unequal QTL variance) or equal for all QTL (equal QTL variance). The line is a LOESS smoother through accuracies on.
