Robust estimation of heritability and predictive accuracy in plant breeding: evaluation using simulation and empirical data

Table 2 Estimated overall mean of \(\widehat {\boldsymbol {\mu }}\) and predictive accuracy expressed as the Pearson correlation coefficient r_p obtained using the classical (CLS) and the robust (ROB) methods (averaged across the 1000 simulations)

True mean=8.923	ROB	CLS
Overall mean \(\widehat {\boldsymbol {\mu }}\)	8.906	8.908
r_p	0.764	0.765
