Genetic prediction in bovine meat production : Is worth integrating bayesian and machine learning approaches? A comprenhensive analysis

Abstract

Genomic prediction is a still growing field, as good predictions can have important economic impact in both, agronomics and health. In this article, we make a brief review and a comprehensive analysis of classical predictors used in the area. We propose a strategy to choose and ensemble of methods and to combine their results, to take advantage of the complementarity that some predictors have.
