Regularized quantile regression for SNP marker estimation of pig growth curves

Abstract Background Genomic growth curves are generally defined only in terms of population mean; an alternative approach that has not yet been exploited in genomic analyses of growth curves is the Quantile Regression (QR). This methodology allows for the estimation of marker effects at different le...
