PopVar (version 1.3.2)

PopVar-package: PopVar: Genomic Breeding Tools: Genetic Variance Prediction and Cross-Validation

Description

The main attribute of 'PopVar' is the prediction of genetic variance in bi-parental populations, from which the package derives its name. 'PopVar' contains a set of functions that use phenotypic and genotypic data from a set of candidate parents to 1) predict the mean, genetic variance, and superior progeny value of all, or a defined set of pairwise bi-parental crosses, and 2) perform cross-validation to estimate genome-wide prediction accuracy of multiple statistical models. More details are available in Mohammadi, Tiede, and Smith (2015, tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.2135/cropsci2015.01.0030")). A dataset 'think_barley.rda' is included for reference and examples.
