warcolak: Pedigree and phenotypic values for a mythical half-sib population of Warcolaks
Description
An example pedigree with phenotypic data constructed from simulated additive, dominance, and environmental effects.Details
The dataset was simulated to have a population mean of 50 (with no other fixed effects) and additive, dominance, and environmental variances of 40, 30, & 30, respectively. The random effects were drawn from a multivariate random normal distribution [e.g., additive effects: N ~ (0, A * Va)] with means of zero and variances equal to the product of the desired additive genetic variance and the additive genetic relatedness matrix. Because of this, the actual variance in random effects will vary slightly from the amount specified in the simulation (i.e., 40, 30, & 30)
