Figure 2From: MetaQTL: a package of new computational methods for the meta-analysis of QTL mapping experimentsPerformance of AIC: a simulation study. Behavior of the AIC criterion for the 4 distance constraints, δmin = 1, 2, 3, 4, and for different values of the true number of QTL, K, and the number of observed QTL, q. The vertical bars indicate the probability than the AIC criterion has selected the true model. The open circles, respectively the dotted lines, represent the mean, respectively the 0.1% and 0.9% quantiles, of the ratios MSEP(2)/MSEP(1).Back to article page
