![]() ![]() ![]() Direct genetic, maternal genetic and maternal environmental (c 2) effects were estimated via REML. Seven univariate and seven bivariate models were applied. This paper is concerned with the application of an alternative model determination criterion (conditional Akaike Information Criterion, cAIC) in a large dataset comprising 203 323 body weights of broilers, pertaining to 7 (BW 7) and 35 (BW 35) days of age. Consequently, the development and application of appropriate statistical procedures for model evaluation is becoming increasingly important. The availability of powerful computing and advances in algorithmic efficiency allow for the consideration of increasingly complex models. Model comparison and estimation of genetic parameters for body weight in commercial broilers. Maniatis, G., Demiris, N., Kranis, A., Banos, G. ![]()
