stability.par: Stability analysis. SHUKLA'S STABILITY VARIANCE AND KANG'S

Description

This procedure calculates the stability variations as well as the statistics of selection for the yield and the stability. The averages of the genotype through the different environment repetitions are required for the calculations. The mean square error must be calculated from the joint variance analysis.

Usage

stability.par(data,rep,MSerror,alpha=0.1,main=NULL,cova = FALSE,name.cov=NULL,file.cov=0)

Arguments

data

matrix of averages, by rows the genotypes and columns the environment

rep

Number of repetitions

MSerror

Mean Square Error

alpha

Label significant

main

Title

cova

Covariable

name.cov

Name covariable

file.cov
