The basic methods for genomic prediction studies

Algorithm	Characteristic
GBLUP*	All SNPs have equal effects on genetic variance
Bayes A	The prior distribution of SNP effect is students t-distribution
Bayes B	The SNP effect of most of SNPs is almost zero, fewer SNPs have students t-distribution The SNP effect of most of SNPs is almost zero, fewer SNPs have normal distribution.
Bayes Cpi	The parameter π is fixed at 0.9.
Bayes R, BayesMulti	The prior distribution of SNP effect have multi-normal distribution
