Figure 2. Mean squared error expressed as a function of bin size for design I.
The mean squared errors were obtained from 100 replicated simulations. The overall proportion of the phenotypic variance contributed by the 20 simulated QTL was calculated using . Each panel contains the result of five different sample sizes (n). The phenotypic variance of the simulated trait is indicated by the dashed horizontal line in each panel (each panel represents one of the four different scenarios).
