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 when using the Holstein-Friesian data set.

1D1 uses the formula of Daetwyler et al. (2010) to calculate the expected values of accuracy, G1 and G2 are based on Goddard et al. (2011) without and with the proposed correction factor, respectively. D2 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.
