Table 5 Model-derived reliabilities (\({\mathbf{R}}^{2}\) were virtually equal across all scenarios), validation reliability (\({\varvec{\uprho}}^{2}\)) and regression slopes of the –/50 scenario and the three additional scenarios

  1. Validation animals were divided according to whether their sire was in the reference set or not
  2. aHigher standard error compared to the other scenarios
