* Accuracies measured as weighted correlation between DRP and EBV of S pigs for crossbred performance. Approximate standard errors SE, computed as (1−r2)/N √ (1−r2)/N, were equal to 0.023 to 0.024 for the mean accuracies across the folds, for all combinations of traits and methods.

aBOA model, model with breed-specific relationship matrices

b GA model, model with genomic relationship matrix by allele frequencies obtained across the genotyped population

c GB model, model with genomic relationship matrix by breed-specific allele frequencies
