Tables showing model-based means from ANOVA of factors affecting correlation (rEBV,MBV) between EBV and MBV and regression coefficient (logebEBV,MBV) of EBV on MBV. The regression coefficient was loge-transformed to account for non-normality and unstable variance. Estimates with different superscript are significantly different at the 0.05 significance level.
