Table 2 Optimum weights in the selection index for the simulated population, and p-values of the tests of whether setting the weights equal to zero would provide lower profit
From: Selection index theory for populations under directional and stabilizing selection

\(\text{EBV}_{i}^2\) | \(b_2\) | − 0.06 | − 0.26 to 0 | \(1.3\cdot 10^{-13}\) |
\(\text{X}_{i1}\) | \(b_3\) | 0.46 | 0.08 | \(1.2\cdot 10^{-13}\) |
\(\text{X}_{i2}\) | \(b_4\) | − 0.04 | − 0.42 | \(1.0\cdot 10^{-08}\) |
\(\text{H}_{i1}\) | \(b_5\) | 0.18 | − 0.22 | \(3.2\cdot 10^{-04}\) |
