Accuracy obtained with the LER and GBLUP models (measured as the correlation between the estimated genetic values and the response variable) for each of the 30 replicates for each trait in all datasets. The red colored data points below the y = x show the instances where the LER models performed better than the GBLUP models. Black colored data points show the instances where the GBLUP models performed better than the LER models. The number of times that each model performed better than the other is shown on the top left side for each dataset.
