Hi, I fitted a genetic model using kinship2 and I compared it with MTDFReml program output.
The residual variance of both are very close but the genetic variance are very differents. The output are: MTDFReml: genetic variance = 1.24015 residual variance = 5.93424 R (Kinship2): genetic variance = 0.767187 residual variance = 5.6712 Both of them use REML method. Could someone tell why the difference? Thanks a lot, Silvano.
