Effects of data structure on the estimation of covariance functions to describe genotype by environment interactions in a reaction norm model

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Covariance functions have been proposed to predict breeding values and genetic (co)variances as a function of phenotypic within herd-year averages (environmental parameters) to include genotype by environment interaction. The objective of this paper was to invest...
