Details

This is a simulated dataset suitable for a 3-component analysis, the components being environmental variance, additive genetic variance, and dominance genetic variance. It needs pre-processing with function mdf() to add base animals, to combine the two traits into a matrix, and to calculate additive and dominance relationship matrices.
