Unit of Statistics University of Edinburgh Mayfield Road Edinburgh EH9 3JZ Scotland Summary A method of prediction of genetic merit from jointly distributed quanta and quantitative responses is described. The probability of response in one of two mutually exclusive and exhaustive categories is modeled as a non-linear function of classification and risk variables. Inferences are made from the mode of a posterior distribution resulting from the combination of a multivariate normal density a priori and a product binomial likelihood function. Parameter estimates are obtained with the Newton-Raphson algorithm which yields a system similar to the mixed model equations. Nested Gauss-Seidel and conjugate gradient procedures are suggested to proceed from one iterate to the next in large problems. A possible method for estimating multivariate variance covariance components involving jointly the categorical and quantitative variates is presented The methọd was applied to prediction of calving difficulty as a binary variable with birth weight and pelvic opening as risk variables in a Blonde d Aquitaine population.
