Cumulative <it>t</it>-link threshold models for the genetic analysis of calving ease scores

<p>Abstract</p> <p>In this study, a hierarchical threshold mixed model based on a cumulative <it>t</it>-link specification for the analysis of ordinal data or more, specifically, calving ease scores, was developed. The validation of this model and the Markov chain Monte...
