het: Heterosis and Heterobeltiosis

Description

Calculation of heterosis and heterobeltiosis parameters of hybrids

Usage

het(GEN, GM, GP, PR, REP, param = "all", verbose = FALSE)

Value

Returns heterosis values based on the performance of the tested parents and progenies. The standard error (SE) is also reported for each parameter.

Arguments

GEN

The column with the genotype name

GM

The column with the average of the maternal parent

GP

The column with the average of the paternal parent

PR

The column with the average of the progeny

REP

The column with the repetitions (if exists)

library(EstimateBreed)

data("maize")
#Extract heterosis and heterobeltiosis
general <- with(maize,het(GEN,GM,GP,PR,REP,param="all"))

#Only extract heterosis
het <- with(maize,het(GEN,GM,GP,PR,REP,param = "het"))

#Extract only heterobeltiosis
hetb <- with(maize,het(GEN,GM,GP,PR,REP,param = "hetb"))
