Selection Index Optimization

Selection Index Optimization is a methodological framework in quantitative genetics that integrates heritable trait information and economic weights into a linear index to maximize genetic gain per unit time, distinguished by its focus on optimizing the weighting coefficients of individual traits to improve the efficiency and accuracy of multi-trait selection decisions in breeding programs.
