Fig. 2

The observed proportion of true QTL among variants with posterior probabilities falling in one of five bins (bars) compared to the median posterior probability for variants in each bin (lines). Posterior probabilities are calculated as the proportion of iterations that a variant was estimated to have a real effect on the trait. Results are from the AUS-Sim data (real cattle genotypes with 4000 simulated QTL) for three simulated traits with BayesR SEQ, BayesRC Seq and BayesRC Lact models (see Table 2 for description of BayesRC models)
