Fig. 4

Correlations between the genetic effects estimated from the subsampled data sets and the full data set. The x-axis indicates the population size and the y-axis indicates the correlation coefficient. The left panels are the additive effects and the right panels are the additive-by-additive effects. The upper panels are correlations for the sampled animals (i.e. animals with phenotypes) and the lower panels are correlations for the unsampled animals (i.e. animals without phenotypes). The phenotypes of carcass weight adjusted with the fixed effects estimated from the full data with Model AA2 were used. The broken lines are drawn at y = 1.0
