2022), and WG‐BLUP (Medina et al.,
2021). Ridge regression BLUP assumes a linear mixed additive model where each marker is assigned an effect as a solution of the following equation:
where y is the vector of observed phenotypes, μ is the mean of y , Z is the genotype matrix (e.g., {0,1,2} for biallelic SNPs), u ∼ N (0, Iσ 2 u ) is the vector of marker effects, and ε is the vector of residuals.…”
