rankSubjects: Rank animals by genetic value

In nprcgenekeepr: Genetic Tools for Colony Management

Rank animals by genetic value

Description

Part of Genetic Value Analysis Adds a column to rpt containing integers from 1 to nrow, and provides a value designation for each animal of "high value" or "low value"

Usage

rankSubjects(rpt)

Arguments

rpt	a list of data.frame (req. colnames: value) containing genetic value data for the population. Dataframes separate out those animals that are imports, those that have high genome uniqueness (gu > 10%), those that have low mean kinship (mk < 0.25), and the remainder.

Value

A list of dataframes with value and ranking information added.
