Linear vs. piecewise Weibull model for genetic evaluation of sires for longevity in Simmental cattle
This study was focused on genetic evaluation of longevity in Croatian Simmental cattle using linear and survival models. The main objective was to create a genetic model that is most appropriate to describe the longevity data. Survival analysis, using piecewise Weibull proportional hazards model, us...
