  1. SNP-RHM column compares the SNP-RHM model against the null model to see if the inclusion of the regional SNP GRM improves model fit. Hap-RHM column compares the Hap-RHM model against the null model to see if the inclusion of the regional haplotype GRM improves model fit. SNHap-RHM column compares the SNHap-RHM model against the null model to see if the simultaneous inclusion of both the regional SNP GRM and the regional haplotype GRM improves model fit. SNHap-RHM vs Hap-RHM column compares the SNHap-RHM model against the Hap-RHM model to see if the additional inclusion of the regional SNP GRM improves model fit. SNHap-RHM vs SNP-RHM column compares the SNHap-RHM model against the SNP-RHM model to see if the additional inclusion of the regional haplotype GRM improves model fit.
