Contour plots of genetic covariance functions fitted by the character process model. |
The residual covariance matrix of the share equations will be singular, and thus one equation must be omitted when estimating the system. |
An analysis of covariance was used to test whether differences between the slopes of regression lines were significant. |
The matrix formulation of the model produces an estimate that can be easily transformed into genetic covariance and correlations. |
The confidence interval of fit parameters was either determined from the covariance matrix or by F-test analysis. |
If this occurs frequently, then MA experiments will be practically useless for studying any properties of mutational covariance. |
