The phrase "average relationship to the" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the typical or common connection or association someone has with a particular subject or entity.
Example: "In this study, we will analyze the average relationship to the environment among different age groups."
Alternatives: "typical connection to the" or "common association with the".
The distribution of inbreeding coefficients within each group revealed that the Wye population and its descendants (group 5) was distinct from the other groups, with an average inbreeding coefficient of about 0.10 due to the closing of the herd 10 generations ago and this group had low average relationships to the other groups.
If the algorithm led to more than 2000 animals, animals that had the lowest average relationship to all test set animals were deleted from the final reference set.
Habier et al. [ 11] showed that DGV use realized genetic relationships among individuals to increase the accuracy of DGV (i.e., the accuracy of a DGV on a selection candidate decreases as the average genetic relationship to the training set individuals decreases).
Each gene/process pair was assigned a functional association score equal to the ratio of its average probability of functional relationship to the process over the process's cohesiveness: (8) This calculation was also used to predict each biological process's predicted association enrichment with unknown genes.
For each individual in the validation population, the average genomic relationship to individuals in the reference population was computed by averaging coefficients from the appropriate section of the genomic relationship matrix.
Methods that choose animals that have the closest average relationship or contribution to the target population gave the lowest accuracy of imputation, in some cases worse than random selection, and should be avoided in practice.
By applying different penalties to the average relationship, we gave OCS the opportunity to search the reduced solution spaces to find alternate solutions.
Key animals were identified iteratively with p m = A m − 1 ∗ c m [ 5], where A is the numerator relationship matrix of m selected animals with pedigree information lasting back to 1920, c is a vector representing the average relationship of the selected animals to the entire population and p is a vector with the proportion of genetic diversity captured by m animals.
OCS was carried out by maximising the genetic merit of the new cohort while applying a penalty to the average relationship of the current generation, which included the new cohort.
