blup_indexes function

Stability indexes based on a mixed-effect model

• hmgv() Computes the harmonic mean of genotypic values (HMGV).
• rpgv() Computes the relative performance of the genotypic values (RPGV).
• hmrpgv() Computes the harmonic mean of the relative performance of genotypic values (HMRPGV).
• blup_indexes() Is a wrapper around the above functions that also computes the WAASB index (Olivoto et al. 2019) if an object computed with waasb() is used as input data.

hmgv(model)

rpgv(model)

hmrpgv(model)

blup_indexes(model)

Arguments

• model: An object of class waasb computed with waasb() or gamem_met().

Returns

A tibble containing the indexes.

Details

The indexes computed with this function have been used to select genotypes with stability performance in a mixed-effect model framework. Some examples are in Alves et al (2018), Azevedo Peixoto et al. (2018), Dias et al. (2018) and Colombari Filho et al. (2013).

\loadmathjax

The HMGV index is computed as \mjsdeqn HMGV_i = \frac E\sum \limits _j = 1^E \frac 1Gv_ij

where \mjseqn E is the number of environments included in the analysis, \mjseqn Gv_ij is the genotypic value (BLUP) for the ith genotype in the jth environment.

The RPGV index is computed as \mjsdeqn RPGV_i = \frac 1E\sum \limits _j = 1^E Gv_ij /\mathop \mu

\nolimits _j

The HMRPGV index is computed as \mjsdeqn HMRPGV_i = \frac E\sum \limits _j = 1^E \frac 1Gv_ij/\mu _j

Examples

library(metan)
res_ind <- waasb(data_ge,
                 env = ENV,
                 gen = GEN,
                 rep = REP,
                 resp = c(GY, HM),
                 verbose = FALSE)
model_indexes <- blup_indexes(res_ind)
gmd(model_indexes)
