gai: Geometric adaptability index

In metan: Multi Environment Trials Analysis

Geometric adaptability index

Description

Performs a stability analysis based on the geometric mean (GAI), according to the following model (Mohammadi and Amri, 2008): \loadmathjax \mjsdeqnGAI = \sqrt[E]\mathop \bar Y\nolimits_1 + \mathop \bar Y\nolimits_2 + ... + \mathop \bar Y\nolimits_i where \mjseqn\bar Y_1, \mjseqn\bar Y_2, and \mjseqn\bar Y_i are the mean yields of the first, second and i-th genotypes across environments, and E is the number of environments

Usage

gai(.data, env, gen, resp, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

.data	The dataset containing the columns related to Environments, Genotypes, replication/block and response variable(s).
env	The name of the column that contains the levels of the environments.
gen	The name of the column that contains the levels of the genotypes.
resp	The response variable(s). To analyze multiple variables in a single procedure use, for example, resp = c(var1, var2, var3).
verbose	Logical argument. If verbose = FALSE the code will run silently.

Value

An object of class gai, which is a list containing the results for each variable used in the argument resp. For each variable, a tibble with the following columns is returned.

• GEN the genotype's code.

• GAI Geometric adaptability index

• GAI_R The rank for the GAI value.
