Bayesian analysis of genetic change due to selection using Gibbs sampling.docVIP

to selection using Gibbs sampling 1 National Institute of Animal Science, Research Center Foulum, J Jensen DK8830 Tjele, Denmark; Summary - A method of analysing response to selection using a Bayesian perspective is presented. The following measures of response to selection were analysed: 1) total response in terms of the difference in additive genetic means between last and first generations; 2) the slope (through the origin) of the regression of mean additive genetic value on generation; 3) the linear regression slope of mean additive genetic value on generation. Inferences are b
