Variance reduction and measurement errors in estimating lactation milk yields using best prediction: An analytical review
Best prediction (BP) has been used in the United States to estimate unobserved daily and lactation yields from known test-day yields since 1999. This method has proven more accurate than its predecessors. However, it has 2 remarkable challenges in practice. First, BP reduces the variance of estimate...
