variogram {biometryassist}R Documentation

Display variogram plots for spatial models

Description

Produces variogram plots for checking spatial trends.

Usage

variogram(
  model.obj,
  row = NA,
  column = NA,
  horizontal = TRUE,
  palette = "default"
)

Arguments

model.obj

An asreml model object.

row

A row variable.

column

A column variable.

horizontal

Logical (default TRUE). The direction the plots are arranged. The default TRUE places the plots above and below, while FALSE will place them side by side.

palette

A string specifying the colour scheme to use for plotting. The default value ("default") is equivalent to "rainbow". Colour blind friendly palettes can also be provided via options "colo(u)r blind" (both equivalent to "viridis"), "magma", "inferno", "plasma", "cividis", "rocket", "mako" or "turbo". The "Spectral" palette from scales::brewer_pal() is also possible.

Value

A ggplot2 object.

## Not run: 
library(asreml)
oats <- asreml::oats
oats <- oats[order(oats$Row, oats$Column),]
model.asr <- asreml(yield ~ Nitrogen + Variety + Nitrogen:Variety,
                    random = ~ Blocks + Blocks:Wplots,
                    residual = ~ ar1(Row):ar1(Column),
                    data = oats)
variogram(model.asr)
