ad.mq: Additive-dominance (AD) model with MINQUE analysis

Description

An AD model can be analyzed by MINQUE approach, requiring no specific genetic mating designs or balance data. For reliable results, parents and F1s, parents and F2s, are preferred.

Usage

ad.mq(Y, Ped)

Arguments

Y

A trait matrix including one or more than one traits.

Ped

A pedigree matrix including Environment, Female, Male, Generation, with or without block is required. So the matrix should include either 4 columns or 5 columns.

Value

Return a list of results: estimated variance components, estimated fixed effects, and predicted random effects.

Details

A pedigree matrix used for analysis is required in the order of Environment (column 1), Female(column 2), Male(column 3), Generation (column 4). Column 5 for block can be default. Even though there is only one environment, this column is needed.
