  1. 1 Correlation between breeding values estimated based on genotype and based on a progeny test. Breeding values estimated using genomic (gBLUP) and pedigree (BLUP-S and BLUP-D) based methods in the Merino SC_WT data for groups of animals with different relationships to the reference data set.
  2. 2 Derived from the mixed model equations
