Comparison of multiplicative (log) and threshold ‘Microbiome’ (M) and ‘Joint’ (J) scenarios ($r^2$ = 0.5) using Bayes Cgb. a Predictive accuracy, computed as the correlation between predicted and observed phenotypes; and b Estimates of heritability ($h^2$) and microbiability ($b^2$). Results are the average of 30 replicates. Scenarios M and J as specified in Table 1; the log transformation results are shown for completeness and are the same as in Figs. 3 and 5. Data are average of 30 replicates
