Precision of QTL position for the three models for the region size of 5 cM and the two marker densities ^aapplied to a half-sib designs (1000 progeny in total)

^aBonferroni t test. MSE values with the same letter are not significantly different. First letter: differences between methods; second letter: differences between family numbers; third letter: differences between marker densities.

^bMSE, mean square error (cM²). Standard errors in parentheses.

^cModels: LA, linkage analysis; LDLA_reg, LDLA analysis by regression model; LDLA_vc, LDLA analysis by IBD variance component model.
