In EvaluateCore: Quality Evaluation of Core Collections

Levene's Test

Description

Test for of variances of the entire collection (EC) and core set (CS) for quantitative traits by Levene's test \insertCitelevene_robust_1960EvaluateCore. \loadmathjax

Usage

levene.evaluate.core(data, names, quantitative, selected)

Arguments

data	The data as a data frame object. The data frame should possess one row per individual and columns with the individual names and multiple trait/character data.
names	Name of column with the individual names as a character string
quantitative	Name of columns with the quantitative traits as a character vector.
selected	Character vector with the names of individuals selected in core collection and present in the names column.

Value

A data frame with the following columns

Trait	The quantitative trait.
EC_V	The variance of the EC.
CS_V	The variance of the CS.
EC_CV	The coefficient of variance of the EC.
CS_CV	The coefficient of variance of the CS.
Levene_Fvalue	The test statistic.
Levene_pvalue	The p value for the test statistic.
Levene_significance	The significance of the test statistic (*: p \mjseqn\leq 0.01; **: p \mjseqn\leq 0.05; ns: p \mjseqn > 0.05).
