The relationship between financial margin and biological traits for nationally and internationally known entries in the 4th and 5th Gosford Random sample tests

Synopsis

An analysis was performed on the published data for the nationally and internationally known entrants in the fourth and fifth Gosford Random Sample Laying Tests. Regression methods were used to fit various models and results indicate that 97 per cent of the variation in financial margin can be attributed to the variate total weight of eggs per bird housed. Alternatively, use of the variate hen‐housed egg production accounted for 91 per cent of the variation in Margin.
