Fitted values of the number of independent chromosome segments () and weighting factors (w) with the Maximum-Likelihood approach and the corresponding natural logarithm of the likelihoods for different methods and different SNP sets when using the Holstein-Friesian data set.

1D2 is a modified equation of Daetwyler et al. (2010) while G3 is based on Goddard et al. (2011) with the weighting factor not defined like in the original publication but like in D2.
