BIF Recommends? -- Bruce L. Golden (talk) 03:27, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Do we need a solid BIF recommends statement/section here?

You mention procedures for fitting groups are well described. Should we include a reference?
You mention IBD. For anyone that were to actually do this, my guess is that they would almost have to use IBS relationships. Worth mentioning?
This seems to be for multi-trait evaluations.
