In pvrqualitasag/qgert: Qualitas Genetic Evaluation Routine Tools

Description

The package 'qgert' provides R-functions and shell-scripts that are considered to be useful in the context of routine genetic evaluations. The set of provided tools can be grouped into different focus categories. So far, we are focusing on providing tools to generate reporting-type of documents for the purpose of quality assurence of the evaluations.

An important quality assurance tool for any given genetic evaluation are the scatter plots showing the results of two subsequent evaluations. Together with the plot the correlation between the results of the two evaluations are computed. An important quality criterion of any new evaluation is that the changes of the results when compared to the previous evaluation need to be very small. As a consequence most points defined by the two evaluation results from the two subsequent evaluations need to lay on the 45-degree line in the first plotting quadrant. Furthermore the correlation between the results of the two subsequent evaluations must be greater than .99. Such scatter plots of results are done for each evaluation. Therefore it might be helpful to compare the scatter plots of two subsequent evaluation runs. The result of such a comparison is a report that is called comparison plot report.

Installation: The package is installed using 'devtools::install_github()' functionality. The bash scripts the run the creation of the reports must be copied into the appropriate program or script directory. This can be done using the script 'install_script.sh'.
