# Load the built-in maize phenotype dataset

# Calculate Genotypic (gmat) and Phenotypic (pmat) covariance matrices

# Define economic weights for the three traits

# Restrict trait 2 (PHT) to have ZERO expected genetic gain

## ----ppg_lpsi_example---------------------------------------------------------
# Specify the desired proportions
k_proportions <- c(2, 1, 1)

# Calculate the PPG-LPSI
ppg_res <- ppg_lpsi(pmat = pmat, gmat = gmat, k = k_proportions, wmat = wmat)

# Calculate DG-LPSI
dg_res <- dg_lpsi(pmat = pmat, gmat = gmat, d = desired_gains)

# Check the achieved proportional genetic gains

# The DG-LPSI also calculates implied Smith-Hazel economic weights

# Create a 3x2 constraint matrix

    0, 0, 1
