geneticae - Statistical Tools for the Analysis of Multi Environment
Agronomic Trials
Data from multi environment agronomic trials, which are
often carried out by plant breeders, can be analyzed with the
tools offered by this package such as the Additive Main effects
and Multiplicative Interaction model or 'AMMI' ('Gauch' 1992,
ISBN:9780444892409) and the Site Regression model or 'SREG'
('Cornelius' 1996, <doi:10.1201/9780367802226>). Since these
methods present a poor performance under the presence of
outliers and missing values, this package includes robust
versions of the 'AMMI' model ('Rodrigues' 2016,
<doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btv533>), and also imputation
techniques specifically developed for this kind of data
('Arciniegas-Alarcón' 2014, <doi:10.2478/bile-2014-0006>).
