title: Genomic Selection  (GS)

 "For such a model there is no need to ask the question "Is the model true?". If "truth" is to be the "whole truth" the answer must be "No". The only question of interest is "Is the model illuminating and useful?"

`George Box`. 1976,  Journal of the American Statistical Association

## Papers for discussion (by <NAME>)

Next Tuesday (October,26th), we will discuss two of the papers sent by Patricio last week (numbers 2 and 3 in the list below). They provide a nice review about factors affecting GS, as well as some real applications. I would like each one of you to bring to class 4-5 bullet points with questions and comments about the paper.
