HDdata: half diallel data for corn hybrids

Description

This dataset contains phenotpic data for 21 corn hybrids, with 2 technical repetitions, coming from a half diallel design and evaluated for sugar content. The column geno indicates the hybrid and male and female origin columns are included as well. Since there's 2 technical reps the error variance obtained by REML/ML has to be divided over 2.

Usage

data("HDdata")

Format

The format is: chr "HDdata"

Source

This data was generated by a corn study.
