EstimateBreed1.0.1 package

Performs analyzes and estimates of environmental covariates and genetic parameters related to selection strategies and development of superior genotypes. It has two main functionalities, the first being about prediction models of covariates and environmental processes, while the second deals with the estimation of genetic parameters and selection strategies. Designed for researchers and professionals in genetics and environmental sciences, the package combines statistical methods for modeling and data analysis. This includes the plastochron estimate proposed by Porta et al. (2024) <doi:10.1590/1807-1929/agriambi.v28n10e278299>, Stress indices for genotype selection referenced by Ghazvini et al.
