TABLE 3.

Estimated QTL effects from data under case 2 with four QTL and ${\mathit{\sigma }}_{\mathit{a}}^2=8$

		Additive effect				Dominant effect
QTL	Position (cM)	True	a	aL	aU	True	b	bL	bU
1	0	2	1.76	0.52	2.86	2	1.91	1.54	2.28
2	250	1	0.41	0	1.17	1	0.77	0.40	1.14

4	750	0	0	0	0	2	1.93	1.57	2.29

a, posterior mean of additive effect; a_L and a_U, the 5th and 95th percentiles of posterior samples for the additive effect. Similarly, b, b_L, and b_U are defined for the dominant effect.
