Random regression models using linear splines (RRMS) offer numerical stability for genetic evaluations. Adjusting model parameters and knot selection minimizes inherent data artefacts, enhancing accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Quantitative genetics
  • Statistical modeling
  • Animal breeding

Background:

  • Random regression models (RRMs) are crucial for analyzing longitudinal data in animal breeding.
  • Linear splines offer advantages over polynomial splines in RRMs due to numerical properties.
  • Understanding the properties of RRMs with linear splines is essential for accurate genetic evaluations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the properties of random regression models using linear splines (RRMS).
  • To investigate the impact of parameter scaling, numerical properties, and variance changes on RRMS.
  • To develop strategies for selecting the number and positions of knots in RRMS.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of parameter scaling and numerical properties in RRMS.

  • Evaluation of variance changes and prediction artefacts between knots.
  • Development and testing of strategies for knot selection in RRMS.
  • Modification of covariables to reduce model artefacts.

    • Main Results:

    • RRMS exhibit good numerical properties, stemming from splines' advantages over polynomials and sparser equations.
    • Artefacts like variance depression and prediction inflation occur between and near knots, respectively.
    • These artefacts diminish with increased correlations between adjacent knots and can be reduced by modifying covariables.
    • Accuracy improvements are marginal when correlations between adjacent knots exceed 0.6.

    Conclusions:

    • RRMS provide a numerically stable framework for genetic evaluations.
    • Artefacts in RRMS are identifiable and manageable through appropriate knot selection and covariable modification.
    • Optimal knot selection involves covering the trajectory, ensuring linear variance changes, and maintaining correlations ≥ 0.6 between adjacent knots.
