Phenotypic variance $(σ_{p}^{2})$ and additive genetic variance $(σ_{g}^{2})$ obtained from the primary analysis using all genotyped animals in the training set; the accuracy of DGV $({\hat{ρ}}_{g ĝ})$ and the regression of DEBV on DGV $({\hat{β}}_{y, x})$ obtained by K-means and random clustering (five replicates) along with 5-fold cross-validation for 16 traits
