blup: Best Linear Unbiased Prediction

Description

Estimate the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) for various effects in the model.

Usage

blup(object)

Arguments

object

an object from estVC or aicVC.

Value

• fixed
  BLUP for fixed effects.
• AA,DD,...
  BLUP for random (genetic) variance components "AA", "DD", ...
• EE
  BLUP for residual effect.

# only consider additive genetic variance component
o<- estVC(y=pdatF8$bwt, x=pdatF8$sex, v=list(AA=gmF8$AA,DD=gmF8$DD,
	HH=NULL, AD=NULL, MH=NULL, EE=diag(length(pdatF8$bwt))))
