Some schools, particularly public schools, admit students based on a specific selection index, which is based on a combination of GPA, test scores, and / or class rank. (internationalstudent.com)
While not a single selection index, such as Total BVAHTs scores, provision of two EBVs to breeders, represents a more methodologically defensible combination of the eighteen ordinal BVAHT phenotypes. (journals.plos.org)
It would be highly desirable if estimated breeding values (EBVs) for these nine traits were consolidated into a simpler, EBV - based, selection index more easily usable by breeders. (journals.plos.org)
