P, infinitesimal models using pedigree; M, model including regressions on markers, but not pedigree information; P&M, model including an infinitesimal additive effect and regressions on markers; Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic, and Inline graphic, residual variance, variance of the infinitesimal additive effect, variance of cage-effects, and smoothing parameter of the BL regression, respectively.
