The results are given as mean ± standard error.¹ $r (YD, \hat{u})$ = accuracy of predicted breeding values (cross-validation correlation between YD and predicted breeding values).² $r (YD, \hat{g})$ = accuracy of predicted total genetic values (cross-validation correlation between YD and predicted total genetic values).³ $b (YD, \hat{u})$ = regression coefficient of YD on predicted breeding values.⁴ $b (YD, \hat{g})$ = regression coefficient of YD on predicted total genetic values.
