blupf90+: This is a combination of remlf90, airemlf90, and blupf90
Gibbs sampler
OPTIONs for priors and degrees of belief, for restarting from the last sampling, and for storing solutions and SD with or without fixed (known) variances
gibbs1f90: Faster than GIBBS2F90 without missing traits
-
gibbs3f90: With heterogeneous residual variances
