stability.er: Regression on Environmental Index

Description

This function calculates the Erberhart&Rassel's stability parameters and the Dragavtsev's coefficient of multiplicativity.

Usage

stability.er(dataf, res_var, gen_var, env_var, rep_var, plotIt = TRUE)

Arguments

dataf

the name of the data frame containing the data to analyze.

res_var

the response variable.

gen_var

the genotypes variable.

env_var

the environments variable.

rep_var

the replications variable.

plotIt

a logical value specifying if plot should be drawn; default is TRUE

Value

Returns a list of three objects:

ANOVA

the analysis of variance table

scores

the data frame object of stability analysis results:
