Prediction of Maize Single Cross Hybrids Using the Total Effects of Associated Markers Approach Assessed by Cross-Validation and Regional Trials

Table 2

Means, medians, and modes of the correlations between the predicted values of untested hybrids and the outcomes of the test population, using different sample sizes of disequilibrium in both the additive and additive + dominance models.
