Use of linear mixed models for genetic evaluation of gestation length and birth weight allowing for heavy-tailed residual effects
BACKGROUND: The distribution of residual effects in linear mixed models in animal breeding applications is typically assumed normal, which makes inferences vulnerable to outlier observations. In order to mute the impact of outliers, one option is to fit models with residuals having a heavy-tailed di...
