From: Balanced selection on purebred and crossbred performance increases gain in crossbreds
Mean phenotype of crossbred animals for different selection criteria relative to the reference selection criteria (w = 0). Mean phenotype of crossbreds for each selection criterion was plotted relative to the reference selection criterion (w = 0). The general criterion for selection of purebred parents was \(SC_{i} = \left( {1 - w} \right) \cdot {\text{GEBV}}_{iP} + w \cdot {\text{GEBV}}_{iC}\). Training in Models 2 and 3 was on purebred animals. OD = % QTL with over-dominance
