Where the supergroup fixed effect is formally fitted separately in the model.Ī constraint is added to the inverse whichĬauses the preceding set of groups which have members to have effects You may insert Groups with no members to defineĬonstraints on groups, that is to associate groups into supergroups The first g lines of the pedigree identify genetic groups (with zero in both the sire and dam fields).Īll other lines must specify one of the genetic groups as sire or dam if the actual parent is unknown. Use !Goffset -1 to add no offset but to suppress insertion of constraints Typically, o is small as it represents genetic variance relative to group variance. When a constant is added, no adjustment of the degrees of freedom is made for To the diagonal elements of A inverse pertaining to groups.
