Notes:
Summary A selection index which maximizes genetic gains in a desired direction has been previously suggested. We extend this index to the case where desired relative genetic gains are constrained to be not less or not greater than pre-specified levels. Further, we suggest an index for desired relative genetic gains constrained to be between certain levels. All these indices are obtained using quadratic programming techniques.
