individuals have marker data, but not otherwise. An equivalent model, in which the joint distribution of QTL breeding values and … marker genotypes is considered, was shown to generate a covariance matrix with a sparse inverse that can be constructed … pedigrees for QTL detection and marker assisted selection. Such analyses often use algorithms that rely upon sparseness of the …
