Applying pRKHS to real life scenarios, Pearson correlation coefficients between estimated breeding value (EBV) and phenotype obtained from ten-fold CV using genotypes and phenotypes of barley lines in year 2007 and prediction based on genotypes of different lines in year 2008 and 2009 implemented f

The optimal number of markers contributing to phenotypic variation and percent of variations explained by the included SPCs were shown for pRKHS methods; results were averaged across five repeated fittings. Optimal cosine value was 0.3 for pRKHS-E across all datasets.
