¹ Models: (3) Multivariate mixture model including the traits growth, liability of being healthy and sexual maturation; (4) An extension of (3) to also include a survival-model with genetic effects; (5) An extension of (4) to include a genetic effect of growth in runts as well as in healthy animals.
