Estimates of additive genetic variance (σ 2g), heritability (h 2), regression coefficient (b), and prediction reliability (r 2) for somatic cell score (SCS), interval between first and last insemination (IFL), and protein yield (PY) using four types of data and two prediction methods. aStandard error of the regression coefficient ranged from 0.02 to 0.03; bstandard error of the prediction reliability was 0.02
