7.4.4 Generation Coefficients

Generation coefficients are assigned using the method of [PattiePattie1965]. Founders, defined as individuals with unknown parents, are assigned generation codes of 0. All other animals are assigned generation codes as:

$\displaystyle GC_o = \dfrac{ ( GC_s + GC_d ) } { 2 } + 1 $

where $ GC_o$, $ GC_s$, $ GC_d$ represent offspring, sire, and dam codes, respectively.
