**Before you run the code below, dowload the following:

• FW.BGLR- function
• Sample Data

Here we present a function to perform the Finlay-Wilkinson (1963) analysis in two steps using the BGLR (Pérez and de los Campos) package in R (R Core Team, 2019). We created the R function FW.BGLR to perform the analysis. The function takes the following arguments:

- pheno: a data.frame with 3 columns, VAR (variety), 
  ENV (environment), y (response variable).
- X: matrix of markers coded for additive effects (e.g, 0, 1, 2).
- G: matrix with genomic relationships between individuals.

The matrix X contains marker information for the varieties given in the data.frame. This matrix is used to compute the additive relationships between individuals (Lopez-Cruz et al., 2015) if matrix G is not given.

The function returns a list object with the following elements:

- yHat: vector with predicted values for the response variable.
- VAR: a data frame with the columns ID (varieties), 
  int (estimated intercept), intSD (estimated standard deviation for intercept),
  slope (estimated slope) and  slopeSD (estimated standard deviation for slope).
- ENV: vector with environmental effects.

The following R code shows how to load sample data (raw means).

 # Load data
  load("sample_FW.RData")

 #list objects, at this point you should have at least 2 objects: pheno and G.
  ls()

The code below shows how to load the function and perform the analysis assuming that objects pheno and G are already loaded in the R environment.

 # Loads BGLR library
  library(BGLR)

 # Loads function for FW analysis
  source("FW_BGLR.R")

 # Fits FW-regression in two steps
  fm<-FW.BGLR(pheno=pheno,G=G,verbose=FALSE)

 # Predictions
  head(fm$yHat)

 # Intercept and slopes
  head(fm$VAR)

 # Environmental effects
  head(fm$ENV)

 # Plot Environment effect vs Genotype performance
  plot.FW(fm,pheno)
