The one hundred and third Take:

Unknown Parent Groups model missing parentships according to breed, year, and pathway of selection. Genetic evaluations need a sensible definition of rules to form Unknown Parent Groups to ensure its accurate estimation. With more complex evaluations, there is a need for systematic rules to form Unknown Parent Groups. We propose several methods to ascertain the informativity and to join consecutive Unknown Parent Groups within breed and pathway. First, a pseudo-count of records based on descendants with record can be easily computed from a pedigree and a list of animals in records, by propagating fractions of one from the flagged animals to ancestors through the pedigree, from youngest to oldest.
