Table 2 Selection of different combinations of pre-selected markers by method 2 (n = 1000 or 2000), each partitioned into two groups with different variances, namely a (a = 0,5,10,50,100, 250) most significant markers and n-a markers. Only RR was used to estimate GEBVs. The selection criteria are the same as for Table 1.
