The prediction accuracies for different traits using an RM and RNM

Trait	Model	Cor(EBV, DYD)a	Cor(GEBV, DYD)b
AIS	RM	0.154	0.248
	RNM	0.147	0.236
ICF	RM	0.262	0.318
	RNM	0.265	0.319
IFL	RM	0.133	0.218
	RNM	0.140	0.228
NRR	RM	0.123	0.127
	RNM	0.103	0.117

AIS number of inseminations per conception, ICF interval from calving to first insemination, IFL interval from first to last insemination, NRR non-return rate at 56 days after first insemination, RM reduced model, RNM reaction norm model
