Regression coefficients of validation records on GEBV when validation was on CB offspring averages or individual CB records, using a PB or a CB reference population. The x-axis represents the regression coefficient using a PB reference population and the y-axis represents the regression coefficient using a CB reference population. Panels refer to validation on CB offspring averages or individual CB records across rows, and to body weight measured at around 7 (BW7) or 35 (BW35) days across columns. Dots represent individual regression coefficients of 100 replicates, and straight lines indicate x = y
