Accuracy of the genotypic value BLUPs of the hybrids selected using the described graph-based procedures. The three examined heritability levels h2 = 0.25, h2 = 0.5, and h2 = 0.75 are represented by the bottom, middle, and top wireframe surfaces respectively. Each point on a surface is the squared Pearson correlation between the BLUPs and the actual (simulated) genotypic values of the selected hybrids under the constraints of a minimum required contrast precision CDmin, expressed as a percentile of the sampled CD values, and the number of genotyped inbred lines, averaged over 100 iterations of the simulation routine.
