TABLE 5.

Response to selection on mean of half-sib progeny () in A_m (ΔA_m) and A_v (ΔA_v) for different values of r_A, different numbers of progeny/sire, and different selected proportions comparing predictions (MR) [as prediction errors (predicted minus observed)] with observed responses obtained from Monte Carlo simulation (MC)
