PEV: Selecting the best training population for genomic selection

Description

This function is a wrapper from the STPGA package to obtain the best subset of individuals to predict a group of individuals minimizing the predicted error variance (PEV). Is used internally in the TP.prep function.

Usage

PEV(PCAs,candidates,Test,ntoselect, npop, nelite, mutprob, niterations, lambda)

Arguments

PCAs
nxk PCA matrix from the predictor variables.
candidates
vector of names for the population without the test set.
Test
name of the individuals in the test or VP set.
ntoselect
number of individuals to select in the training population.
npop
number of solutions at each iteration.
nelite
number of elite solutions for TP pops.
mutprob
probability of mutation for each solution
niterations
number of iterations
lambda
scalar shrinkage in PEV.

Value

If all parameters are correctly indicated the program will return:
