A stage-wise approach for the analysis of multi-environment trials.
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
Plant breeders and variety testing agencies routinely test candidate genotypes (crop varieties, lines, test hybrids) in multiple environments. Such multi-environment trials can be efficiently analysed by mixed models. A ...
The distribution of large herbivore hotspots in relation to environmental and anthropogenic correlates in the Mara region of Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
1. The distributions of large herbivores in protected areas and their surroundings are becoming increasingly restricted by changing land use, with adverse consequences for wildlife populations. 2. We analyse changes in ...
Genomic selection using regularized linear regression models: ridge regression, lasso, elastic net and their extensions.
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
BACKGROUND:
Genomic selection (GS) is emerging as an efficient and cost-effective method for estimating breeding values using molecular markers distributed over the entire genome. In essence, it involves estimating the ...
