Spatial modelling improves genetic evaluation in smallholder breeding programs

This study shows spatial modelling improves genetic evaluation in smallholder dairy cattle systems by better separating genetic and environmental effects.

Hierarchical modeling of haplotype effects based on a phylogeny

This paper introduces a hierarchical model to estimate haplotype effects using phylogenetic relationships, showing improved estimates with sparse modeling and better performance in low-observation scenarios.

Modelling spatial variation in agricultural field trials with INLA

This paper compares spatial models for agricultural field trials using INLA, showing AR1⊗AR1 and SPDE models provide best predictive performance with or without genomic data.
