stab_kang: Stability Kang Function

In stability: Stability Analysis of Genotype by Environment Interaction (GEI)

Description

Performs a stability analysis based on the Kang (1988) criteria. Kang nonparametric stability (ranksum) uses both "trait single value" and stability variance (Shukla, 1972), and the genotype with the lowest ranksum is commonly the most favorable one.

Usage

stab_kang(.data, .y, .rep, .gen, .env)

## Default S3 method:
stab_kang(.data, .y, .rep, .gen, .env)

Arguments

.data	data.frame
.y	Response Variable
.rep	Replication Factor
.gen	Genotypes Factor
.env	Environment Factor
