Fig. 5

Boxplots of estimated genetic correlations from generation \(G_3\) to generation \(G_8\) for the set corresponding to \(h_1^2=0.401\), \(h_2^2=0.401\), \(\tau _a= 0.2\) and \(\tau _e=0.7\) with no missing phenotypes. 1000 simulations were performed. The red dotted line represents the theoretical genetic correlation. Residual copulas are normal (N), Frank (F), Clayton (Cl) and Joe (J). Grey boxes are the 95% confidence intervals
