adc.mq: An ADC with MINQUE analysis

In qgtools: Generalized Quantitative Genetics Data Analyses

Description

An ADC model can be analyzed by MINQUE approach, requiring no specific genetic mating design or balance data. For reliable results, parents and F1s, parents and F2s, are preferred.

Usage

adc.mq(Y, Ped)

Arguments

Y	A trait matrix including one or more traits.
Ped	A pedigree matrix including Env, Female, Male, Generation, with or without block is required. So the matrix should include either 4 columns or 5 columns.

Details

A pedigree matrix used for analysis is required in the order of Environment (column 1), Female(column 2), Male(column 3), Generation (column 4). Column 5 for block can be default. Even though there is only one environment, this column is needed.

Value

Return a list of results: estimated variance components, estimated fixed effects, and predicted random effects
