Linear combinations of those coefficients define variance components for the additive genetic variance at given points of the trajectory. Therefore ASE of these components and heritabilities derived from them can be calculated. In our example the ASE were larger near the ends of the trajectory. random regression heritability approximate standard error genetic parameter residual maximum likelihood 1. INTRODUCTION Random regression RR has been widely used for genetic analysis of longitudinal data from many of the major animal breeding industries world wide and has also been implemented into routine large scale animal breeding applications 4 . Estimates of derived genetic parameters such as heritability at given points along the trajectory are commonly published from such studies and comment is often made about the accuracy and robustness of RR models. However there have been no attempts to quantify the accuracy of such estimates for different parts of the trajectory from RR analyses using residual Corresponding author tfischer@ 364 .
