Comparison of the five designs based on 100 simulations under case 2
| Design | Position (0 cM) | Position (250 cM) | Position (500 cM) |
| 300 complete independent | 0.17 | 0.57 | 0.19 |
| Loop | 1.30 | 0.89 | 1.46 |
| Replicated complete independenta | 3.36 | 0.94 | 3.33 |
| Replicated complete independentb | 3.45 | 0.95 | 3.34 |
| Complete pair | 3.50 | 0.98 | 3.38 |
| 50 complete independent | 3.54 | 1.00 | 3.58 |
For each QTL, the mean squared error (MSE) of the posterior mean estimate of the additive effect is reported.
Individual phenotypes of RIX samples were analyzed via the proposed mixed-effects model (1).
Average phenotypes of replicated RIX samples were analyzed via the linear model (2).
