stability.tai {agrostab}

Tai's stability analysis

Description

This function calculates the Tai's stability parameters.

Usage

stability.tai(dataf, res_var, gen_var, env_var, rep_var, plotIt = TRUE)

Arguments

dataf

the name of the data frame containing the data to analyze.

res_var

the response variable.

gen_var

the genotypes variable.

env_var

the environments variable.

rep_var

the replications variable.

plotIt

a logical value specifying if plot should be drawn; default is TRUE

Value

Returns a list of two objects:

ANOVA

the analysis of variance table

scores

the data frame object of stability analysis results:

• alpha regression of genotype means on environmental means

• t_value t-values for gypothesis that alpha=0

• p_value p-values for gypothesis that alpha=0

• lambda deviation from linear responses

• pf_value p-values for gypothesis that lambda=0
