Table 2. The first three dimensions of latent variables resulting from approach ii, the maximization of total genetic variance.
Dimension | Phenotypic variance | Genetic variance (%) | Fraction of genetic variance | P-value |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 3.35 | 1.43 (0.43) | 0.72 | <0.001 |
2 | 3.01 | 0.20 (0.07) | 0.10 | 0.063 |
3 | 0.39 | 0.10 (0.25) | 0.05 | <0.001 |
Shown are the variance of the phenotypic latent variable (linear combination of standardized phenotypic variables), the variance of this phenotypic latent variable explained by the genetic latent variable (i.e., genetic variance), the genetic variance as a fraction of total genetic variance of all traits (plotted in Figure 2), and the P-value for the test of this dimension against the hypothesis of complete independence between genetic and phenotypic latent variables.
