Equivalence of variance components between standard and recursive genetic models using LDL' transformations

CONCLUSIONS: The LDL' or block-LDL' transformations applied to the variance component estimates achieved from a multiple trait mixed model enabled inference across multiple sets of recursive models, with the sole prerequisite of being likelihood equivalent. Furthermore, the aforementioned transformations simplify the handling of missing data when conducting inference within the realm of recursive models.PMID:38698321 | DOI:10.1186/s12711-024-00901-x
