Simulated data for total proportion retained (p)= q₁q₂ = 0.01, 0.10, and 0.30, and estimated optimum and decorrelated constrained multistage linear phenotypic selection indices (OCMLPSI and DCMLPSI, respectively) responses (Ȓ₁, Ȓ₂, and Ȓ_t = Ȓ +₂) and single-stage constrained linear phenotypic selection index (SCLPSI) responses (Ȓ_0.01, Ȓ_0.10, and Ȓ_0.30) for four simulated selection cycles in a two-stage breeding scheme.
