Fig. 3

Change in genetic progress and inbreeding for different breeding value estimation methods and genotyping different cohorts. Ratio of genetic gain (∆G) and increase in inbreeding (∆F) for the breeding population from 63 to 630 weeks, displayed as a two-dimensional boxplot of 20 simulations. The borders of the box indicate the 25 and 75% quantiles for both axes (∆G and ∆F). The whiskers indicate either 2.5 standard deviations or, in case the maximum and minimum values are closer to the mean, these maximum or minimum values. Simulation replicates that were more than 2.5 standard deviations different from the mean are indicated as extreme values
