Prediction accuracy over breeding cycles of the simulation. Accuracy was measured as the correlation between the predicted and true genotypic values of the selection candidates. Line colors and point shapes delineate the different methods of updating the training population. Plots are separated into the (A) Cumulative and (B) Window updating scenarios. Average values are shown with 95% confidence intervals. To help reduce plot clutter, points for each update method are given a small, consistent jitter along the x-axis. Because the plotting jitter may accentuate small differences between updating methods, these data are also provided in Table S1.
