On Probability of Heritability Estimates from Full‐Sib Analysis Exceeding Unity Based on Underlying Theoretical Distribution
V. T. Prabhakaran, B. S. Sharma · Biometrical Journal · 1994
Abstract A procedure for obtaining the theoretical probability of heritability (h2) estimates from full‐sib analysis exceeding unity is described. Probability densities useful in the evaluation of these probabilities are also derived. These are used for obtaining the probabilities for several combinations of sire/dam numbers and three levels of h2 (0.10, 0.25, 0.50) assuming additive genetic model and two full‐sibs per mating.
