Table 2 Correlations between estimated breeding values (EBV) and phenotypes (P) or true breeding values (TBV) of the continuous and discrete trait of individuals in simulated generations zero to three. TBV of all individuals and phenotypes of individuals in generation 4 were only used to evaluate the correlations but were not used to fit the models.

From: Partial least square regression applied to the QTLMAS 2010 dataset
