Hello, may I ask is R and S possible to be negative? Thank you! (I am not sure if is bigger number minus the smaller number or follow the formula strictly such that R=average of offspring trait - average of base population trait) thank you ! Hope you could help me (regarding the breeder's equation
They can be measured using specialized methods. It is difficult, however, to account for all. See the interesting problem of "missing heritability": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_heritability_problem
This lecture is very helpful! Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot Professor for this valuable information

Sure, let's say the population mean is 50. You select parents with a mid-value of 30. The progeny mean is 40. S = -20, R = -10. R/S = 0.5.
@@Genetics101 thank u for ur reply!
Thank you SO much for this! Now what about non-additive affects?
