stageMET Performs the genetic analysis of an MET dataset corresponding to the final step of a two-stage analysis, where input corresponds to meand (or adjusted values) of Evaluates and verifies the data originating from several trials with the aim of determining levels of: connectivity, variability, etc., which are reported as statistics. Only non-NA observations are considered in the reports. Note that trial is always considered a fixed effect.

stageMET(
  data = NULL,
  gen = NULL,
  trial = NULL,
  resp = NULL,
  weight = NULL,
  type.gen = "random",
  type.trial = "fixed",
  vc.model = "corh",
  workspace = "128mb"
)

Arguments

data

dataframe with all relevant columns for MET analyses.

gen

factor name for genotypes (or treatments)

trial

factor name for trial (or environment)

resp

column name for the response variable to evaluate

weight

column name for the weight of response (default = 1)

type.gen

model assumption for genotype effects: 'random' or 'fixed' (default = 'random')

type.trial

model assumption for trial effects: 'random' or 'fixed' (default = 'fixed')

vc.model

variance-covariance model to fit: 'diag', 'corv', 'corh', 'fa1', 'fa2', 'fa3', 'fa4', 'corgh' (default = 'corh') (only for type.gen =' random')

workspace

asreml workspace

Value

Several objects with reports of the MET analysis. call: String with the ASReml-R call used to fit the requested model mod: ASReml-R object with all information from the fitted model predictions: Predictions for all genotypes across all sites, with thier standard error and reliability.
