Table 2 . Comparison of average reliabilities of genomic predictions at different heritabilities for five different scenarios obtained with the deterministic formulas of VanRaden (2008) (rel_VR) and Daetwyler et al. (2008) (rel_D), using the estimated number of effective chromosome segments (M_e).

^a$M_{\text{e}}$ estimated based on the genomic and additive genetic relationship matrices (Equation 6).

^b$M_{\text{e}}$ estimated as $M_{\text{e}}=2N_{\text{e}}L/\left(\text{ln}\left(4N_{\text{e}}L\right)\right)$ (Goddard 2009).

^c$M_{\text{e}}$ estimated as $M_{\text{e}}=2N_{\text{e}}L$ (Hayes et al. 2009d).
