We develop a bio-economic spatially explicit modelling across 620 small French agricultural areas, which couples a public decision maker under budgetary constraint, regional economic agents in a context of uncertainty and breeding bird dynamics.
Having animals with both EBV and GEBV and other animals with EBV only creates some uncertainty for breeding companies and farmers on how to optimally choose among the candidates for selection.
Models for non-Gaussian traits especially are challenging in regard to uncertainty in breeding values and other parameter estimates (Tempelman and Gianola 1994; Sorensen and Gianola 2002; Bolker et al. 2009; Fong et al. 2010).
First, for p s and p m, we randomly drew a probability of breeding success from the uncertainty distribution around our negative binomial maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of this quantity (which we obtained from the inverse of the second partial derivative of the likelihood function, according to standard likelihood theory).
Note that the estimates of linear combinations we obtain here take into account dependencies and uncertainties of breeding values and parameters.
In this work, a set of Pb TENDL-2015 neutron-induced files generated using sampled input parameters are employed using the Total Monte-Carlo method to quantify the uncertainty of tritium breeding in a Helium Cooled Lithium Lead blanket of a demonstration fusion plant.
Neutronic calculations performed on the 2014 DEMO HCLL baseline predicted a value of TBR equal to 1.07, lower than the required value of 1.1, necessary to ensure the tritium self-sufficiency of the breeding blanket taking into account uncertainties.
Other arguments have focused on the possibility of breeding generations of human-animal chimeras and the uncertainty of the nature of the offspring produced.
Indeed, inter-locus variance introduced large uncertainty in the estimation of the number of breeding eels per reproductive group NBGe*, which ranged from 160 to 1294 effective breeders.
