Effect of TS composition on intra family prediction accuracies ($\mathit{cor}\left(u,\widehat{u}\right)$) considering genotypes simulated at generations 18, 19, 20 in the scenario Bridging_20y. a Mean prediction accuracy within 50 elite (ExE) families and b mean prediction accuracy within 50 introduction (DExE) families. Boxplots represent the results for 20 independent replicates. One can distinguish three training set types (left to right): Full training set considering all 3600 E progeny (Pure E), all 1200 DE progeny (Pure DE) and all 3600 E + 1200 DE progeny; Training sets at constant size of 1200 DH for comparison with Pure DE; Training sets at constant size of 3600 DH and variable proportion of DE progeny for comparison with Pure E. The red dotted line represents the median value for Pure E TS
