TABLE 4.
Mean correlation between the simulated genotypic value of an individual and its predicted genotypic value for the epistatic and additive models (
and
respectively) and the frequency with which the correlation was higher for the epistatic model than for the additive model [P(rE > rA)]
| Setting | ![]() |

P(rE > rA) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.499 | 0.473 | 0.78 |
| 2 | 0.508 | 0.479 | 0.86 |
| 3 | 0.509 | 0.510 | 0.50 |

| 9 | 0.516 | 0.524 | 0.36 |
| 10 | 0.536 | 0.540 | 0.34 |
Individuals for which the correlation was evaluated were in the fourth generation of the pedigree and had DNA marker data but no phenotypic record. Settings 9 and 10 here have N = 320 and N = 640, respectively, with
Standard errors for correlations were less than 0.005.
