FYI, 'Gee Whizz' recently posted this on the Daylily Hybridizers 101 Facebook page, if there are any Forum members not on that, I thought the repost here could be helpful:

@beenthere, these articles may partially answer your question. For myself, I am doing some inbreeding to identify recessive traits and to understand the inheritance patterns (dominant, co-dominant, recessive) of these target traits among my founder stock of registered daylilies I've purchased. I may get some lucky surprises, but mostly, I plan to then use that information to make decisions about seedling crosses and outcrossing. I defer to the real experts on the Forum for a more in-depth discussion!
