Summary statistics for the phenotypic data
| Trait | N | Min | Max | Mean | σ | Rel min | Rel max | Rel mean | Rel σ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CWT | 941 | −26.38 | 13.88 | −4.07 | 6.39 | 70.2 | 99 | 89.55 | 8.36 |
| CFAT | 768 | −0.72 | 0.62 | −0.11 | 0.23 | 70.2 | 99 | 88.21 | 8.98 |
| CONF | 936 | −1.62 | 0.46 | −0.67 | 0.31 | 70.2 | 99 | 89.97 | 8.16 |
| CULL | 763 | −29.44 | 29.65 | 0.33 | 8.28 | 70.2 | 99 | 88.14 | 8.37 |
Summary statistics include the total number of phenotype records (N), minimum value, maximum value, mean and standard deviation (σ) for each trait. Phenotypes are expressed as de-regressed predicted transmitting abilities. The minimum (Relmin), maximum (Relmax), mean (Relmean) and standard deviation (Relσ) for the associated adjusted reliabilities is also included.
CWT = carcass weight; CFAT = carcass fat; CONF = carcass conformation; CULL = cull cow carcass weight.
