Abstract: The paper presents an algorithm for the estimation and prediction of parameters in a two-trait binary threshold model. The model includes fixed effects and the following random effects: genetic direct additive, genetic maternal additive and permanent maternal environmental effects. The Gibbs sampling procedure was used to estimate the parameters. The algorithm was illustrated with a numerical example showing appropriateness of the proposed method.
