Fig. 2From: Optimisation of the core subset for the APY approximation of genomic relationshipsAccuracy for validation animals in simulation. Accuracy is the correlation between genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) and true breeding values (TBV) from simulation. GEBV were based on the full inverse (Full) and the Algorithm for Proven and Young (APY) inverse of the genomic relationship matrix (\(\mathbf {G}\)). For APY, the core subset was constructed at random (Random), based on the highest diagonal in \(\mathbf {G}\) (Diagonal), a combination of Random and Diagonal (Weighted), or the conditional algorithm (Conditional). Random and weighted constructions show five samplesBack to article page
