For that reason, the SEM genetic correlations were different from the correlations estimated with the multi-trait model.
The correlation was estimated with Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, with p > 0.5 considered strong correlation, 0.35 to 0.5 considered moderate correlation, and 0.2 to 0.34 weak correlation [ 35].
The shoulder observed at q ~ 0.1/Å and the peak at q ~ 0.07/Å indicates the presence of a correlation distance among the pores ranging from ~6 to ~9 nm, which is in good agreement with the correlation distances estimated with the FFT analysis (Fig. 1c).
Thirdly, pair wise correlations were estimated with the Spearman correlation coefficient, and agreement other than expected by chance was estimated with the overall and weighted Kappas and their 95% confidence intervals.
Odds ratios or estimates of correlation were estimated with a 95% confidence intervals.
The intracluster correlation was estimated with Stata's xtlogit command 14 15 and represents the proportion of total variance in work incapacity contributed by the variance component at practice level.
Realised reliabilities for SI were on average 4% lower than for MULTI.> -wrap-foot> Sc. = Scenario; *expected standard deviation of EBV, based on realised reliabilities, obtained from squared correlation of estimated with true breeding values, and the true genetic standard deviation within year; #percent loss in SR of SI compared to MULTI, with 100% being a SR with an accuracy of 1.
Plotting the genetic correlations with the number of common bulls between countries revealed that for protein yield, the level of the correlation estimates increased with the number of common bulls.
Genetic correlations were estimated with the ASReml software [ 16], using 200 replicates per scenario.
The between-study correlations were estimated with considerable uncertainty (Table 2) and appear to have little impact on overall effect estimates.
Reliabilities for young bulls were much higher for across-country than within-country genomic evaluations as measured by squared correlations of estimated with true breeding values.
