The inverse of a numerator relationship matrix is needed for best linear unbiased prediction of breeding values. The purpose of this paper to is present a rapid and simple method for computation of the elements of this inverse without computing the relationship matrix itself. The method is particularly useful in noninbred populations but is much faster than the conventional method in the presence of inbreeding.
