Flat prior distributions were defined for
the nongenetic effects and effects at the single locus (− ∞, ∞), for the variance components (0, ∞), and for the allele frequencies (0,1).

X1, X2, X3, and Z were incidence matrices relating
nongenetic, breeder, litter, and genetic
effects, respectively, to the observations.
