ge_stats: Statistics for genotype-vs-environment interaction

Description

Computes (i) within-environment analysis of variance, GEI effect, GEI means, and genotype plus GEI effects; (ii) parametric statistics including AMMI-based indexes, Annicchiarico's genotypic confidence index (1992), Ecovalence (Wricke, 1965), regression-based stability (Eberhart and Russell., 1966), Shukla's stability variance parameter (1972); and (iii) nonparametric statistics including Fox's stability function (Fox et al. 1990), superiority index (Lin and Binns, 1988), Huehn's stability statistics (Huehn, 1979), and Thennarasu (1995) statistics.

Usage

ge_stats(.data, env, gen, rep, resp, verbose = TRUE, prob = 0.05)

Arguments

.data

The dataset containing the columns related to Environments, Genotypes, replication/block and response variable(s).

env

The name of the column that contains the levels of the environments.

gen

The name of the column that contains the levels of the genotypes.

rep

The name of the column that contains the levels of the replications/blocks.

resp

The response variable(s). To analyze multiple variables in a single procedure use, for example, resp = c(var1, var2, var3).

verbose

Logical argument. If verbose = FALSE the code will run silently.

prob

The probability error assumed.

Value

An object of class ge_stats which is a list with one data frame for each variable containing the computed indexes.

Details

The function computes the statistics and ranks for the following stability indexes. "Y" (Response variable), "CV" (coefficient of variation), "Var" (Genotype's variance), "Shukla" (Shukla's variance, calling Shukla internally), "Wi_g", "Wi_f", "Wi_u" (Annichiarrico's genotypic confidence index for all, favorable and unfavorable environments, respectively, calling Annicchiarico internally ), "Ecoval" (Wricke's ecovalence, ecovalence internally), "Sij" (Deviations from the joint-regression analysis) and "R2" (R-squared from the joint-regression analysis, calling ge_reg internally), "ASV" (AMMI-stability value), "SIPC" (sum of the absolute values of the IPCA scores), "EV" (Average of the squared eigenvector values), "ZA" (Absolute values of the relative contributions of the IPCAs to the interaction), and "WAAS" (Weighted Average of Absolute Scores), by calling AMMI_indexes internally; "HMGV" (Harmonic mean of the genotypic value), "RPGV" (Relative performance of the genotypic values), "HMRPGV" (Harmonic mean of the relative performance of the genotypic values), by calling Resende_indexes internally; "Pi_a", "Pi_f", "Pi_u" (Superiority indexes for all, favorable and unfavorable environments, respectively, calling superiority internally), "Gai" (Geometric adaptability index, calling gai internally), "S1" (mean of the absolute rank differences of a genotype over the n environments), "S2" (variance among the ranks over the k environments), "S3" (sum of the absolute deviations), "S6" (relative sum of squares of rank for each genotype), by calling Huehn internally; and "N1", "N2", "N3", "N4" (Thennarasu"s statistics, calling Thennarasu internally ).
