In a recent study :cite:`suzuki2023trait`, we explore how the genetic architecture of the set of traits (heritability, genetic covariance, heritability undetected by the univariate test, ...) can be predictive of statistical power gain of the multi-trait test.
We implement an additional command line tool to give access our predictive model (the **jass predict-gain** command).
This command allows the to score swiftly a large number of traits combinations and to focus on set of traits the most promising for multi-trait testing.
To work the inittable provided to the **jass predict-gain** command must contain the genetic covariance between traits.
The last column provide the predicted gain ("the higher the more promising"). Note that extrapoling on new data might give lesser performances than reported in :cite:`suzuki2023trait`.
