A method of prediction of genetic merit from jointly distributed quanta] and quantitative responses is described. The probability of response in one of two mutually exclusive and exhaustive categories is modeled as a non-linear function of classification and « risk » variables. Inferences are made from the mode of a posterior distribution resulting from the combination of a multivariate normal density, a priori, and a product binomial likelihood function. Parameter estimates are obtained with the Newton-Raphson algorithm, which yields a system similar to the mixed model equations. « Nested » Gauss-Seidel and conjugate gradient procedures are suggested to proceed from one iterate to the next in large problems. A possible method for est...
