Calculate heritability
Description
Calculate the heritability based on the fitted model. The heritability is
calculated as described by Atlin et al. E.g. for a model with trials nested
within locations, which has a random part that looks like this: genotype +
genotype:location + genotype:location:trial the heritability is computed
as
\sigma_G^2 / (\sigma_G^2 + \sigma_L^2 / l + \sigma_{LT}^2 / lt +
\sigma_E^2 / ltr)
In this formula the \sigma
terms stand for the standard deviations of
the respective model terms, and the lower case letters for the number of
levels for the respective model terms. So \sigma_L
is the standard
deviation for the location term in the model and l
is the number of
locations. \sigma_E
corresponds to the residual standard deviation and
r
to the number of replicates.
