  1. Results are given for Bayes C π linear model analysis of continuous phenotypes and Bayes C π linear or threshold model analysis of ordinal categorical phenotypes classified (c) as 2, 3 or 4 categories with heritabilities (h2) of 0.10, 0.25 or 0.50 in the Angus training (PT) population with (n) 1000 or 2250 observations.
