In science, it is important to distinguish between the terms accurate and precise. Precise is related to how detailed a description or measurement is, while accurate is how much it can be trusted. For example, a scale may tell you your weight is 123.45678 lbs., but it is only accurate to within a pound so you know your accurate weight is 123 although the precision of the scale is much higher.

What are advantages of BLUP breeding values?

- More accurate - reduces error variance as it shrinks the values towards the means. o When there is a lot of unexplained variation in a trial, BLUEs will be spread out in both directions from high to low away from the trial mean but BLUPs will not which is more accurate. o If the mean heritability is very low, all of the BLUPs will be shrunk toward the mean and will have the same value, which is the trial mean, more accurate.
