Shukla: Shukla's stability variance parameter

In TiagoOlivoto/metan: Multi Environment Trials Analysis

Shukla's stability variance parameter

Description

The function computes the Shukla's stability variance parameter (1972) and uses the Kang's nonparametric stability (rank sum) to imcorporate the mean performance and stability into a single selection criteria.

Usage

Shukla(.data, env, gen, rep, 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.
rep	The name of the column that contains the levels of the replications/blocks.
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 Shukla, 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.

• Y the mean for the response variable.

• ShuklaVar The Shukla's stability variance parameter.

• rMean The rank for Y (decreasing).

• rShukaVar The rank for ShukaVar.

• ssiShukaVar The simultaneous selection index (ssiShukaVar = rMean + rShukaVar).
