nTraitsnumber of traits
gvmatrix of genetic values. When using GxE traits, gv reflects gv when p=0.5. Dimensions are nInd by nTraits.
phenomatrix of phenotypic values. Dimensions are nInd by nTraits.
ebvmatrix of estimated breeding values. Dimensions are nInd rows and a variable number of columns.
gxelist containing GxE slopes for GxE traits
fixEffa fixed effect relating to the phenotype. Used by genomic selection models but otherwise ignored.
misca list whose elements correspond to additional miscellaneous
nodes with the items for individuals in the population (see example in
newPop) - we support vectors and matrices or objects that
have a generic length and subset method.
This list is normally empty and exists solely as an
open slot available for uses to store extra information about
individuals.
miscPopa list of any length containing optional meta data for the
population (see example in newPop).
This list is empty unless information is supplied by the user.
Note that the list is emptied every time the population is subsetted or
combined because the meta data for old population might not be valid anymore.
