  1. 1The values reported are the average of five replicates
  2. 2The true value of sire variance used in the simulation was 0.05
  3. 3NP = normal prior; 5G = 5% generalized prior; 10G = 10% generalized prior; and 15G = 15% generalized prior
  4. 4HL = lower bound of the high posterior density 95% interval; and HU = upper bound of the high posterior 95% interval
