Correlation matrix between molecular breeding value (MBV) scores and selected model input and output variables1.

1 For a given MBV, the first row indicates the Pearson correlation coefficient and the second row indicates the probability of H0: r = 0. HH = hip height; fBW = final (slaughter) BW, FT = fat thickness, MRB = marbling score, REA = ribeye area, EBFC = predicted empty body fat using carcass traits, DOF = days on feed, DMIC = predicted DMI using carcass traits, DMIHH = predicted DMI using hip height information, AFSBW = predicted adjusted final shrunk BW at 28% empty body fat using carcass traits (AFSBWCT) or hip height (AFSBWHH), RFI = residual feed intake.Correlation matrix between molecular breeding value (MBV) scores and selected model input and output variables1.
