Three estimates of heritability are available from the half-sib pedigree design: the sire, dam and genotypic estimates. Because of its significantly smaller standard error, the genotypic estimate is ...

A method is given for obtaining an approximate test of significance of the fixed unnested main effect in an unbalanced nested analysis of variance where all other nested effects are random. The ...
