Pre-corrected phenotype (PCP) and estimated breeding value (EBV) were target phenotypes. Kernels were: additive genomic relationship kernel (G), Gaussian additive kernel (GKA), Gaussian dominance kernel (GKD), multiple kernel learning using Gaussian additive, Gaussian dominance, and Gaussian additive by dominance kernels (GKALL), and fitting three parametric kernels (G, D, and G#D) simultaneously (ALL). The best prediction within trait and type of phenotype is italicized.
