Theory and Analysis of Threshold Characters
Abstract
This paper deals with theory, methods and problems in the analysis of categorical data in animal breeding when a threshold model is postulated for an underlying normal distribution of phenotypes. Linear and nonlinear statistical models potentially useful for estimating parameters of the underlying and outward distributions are reviewed and extended. Methods for evaluating the genetic value of candidates for selection from single or multiple populations are discussed comparatively.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
