THE SAMPLING VARIANCE OF HERITABILITY OF AN INDEX

C.Y. Lin

Abstract

A method was presented for the sampling variance of heritability of an index estimated by regression method. When the number of traits in the index is reduced to one trait, the formula derived is equivalent to Osborne and Paterson's estimation for the sampling variance of heritability for a single trait. A numerical example was given to illustrate the computation.
