Genomic evaluation by including dominance effects and inbreeding depression for purebred and crossbred performance with an application in pigs

Table 4 Predictive ability for crossbred animals in the validation population

	Nogen	Gen_AM	Gen_ADM
\(cor\left( {y_{c} ,\hat{y}} \right)\) ^a	0.010 (0.031)	0.056 (0.031)	0.056 (0.031)
Regression coefficient^b	0.703 (2.218)	0.736(0.386)	0.730 (0.385)

Numbers between brackets are the standard errors of the corresponding parameters
^aPredictive ability (\({\text{cor}}\left( {{\text{y}}_{\text{c}} ,\hat{y}} \right)\)) is given by the correlation coefficient between the corrected phenotypes (\(y_{c}\)) and their predictions (\(\hat{y}\)) for total number of piglets born (TNB) in crossbred animals
^bRegression coefficient of the corrected phenotypes (\(y_{c}\)) on the predicted observations (\(\hat{y}\)) in crossbred animals
