Table 2. Cross-validation scenarios.
| Set Name | Schema | Training Size | Validation Size | Marker Number |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVC0 | C0 | 122 | 31 | 130 |
| CVC2 | C2 | 132 | 34 | 1951 |
| CVT1 | T1 | 136 | 35 | 3307 |
| CVStrat | (C0,C2,T1) (C0,C2,T1) | 48-402 | 75 | 535 |
| Prog | C0 C2 | 179 | 168 | 535 |
| Test | C0 T1 | 179 | 172 | 535 |
Summary of different cross-validation (CV) methods used in this study. Within-population schemes were tested in C0 (CVC0), C2 (CVC2), and in the test population (CVT1). Across population testing included predicting progeny from C0 (Prog) and T1 from C0 (Test). A stratified approach (CVStrat) was used to determine the role of population size on prediction accuracy.
