A simple algorithm to estimate genetic variance in an animal threshold model using Bayesian inference

BACKGROUND: In the genetic analysis of binary traits with one observation per animal, animal threshold models frequently give biased heritability estimates. In some cases, this problem can be circumvented by fitting sire- or sire-dam models. However, these models are not appropriate in cases where i...
