ammistability computes multiple stability parameters from an AMMI model. Further, the corresponding Simultaneous Selection Indices for Yield and Stability (SSI) are also calculated according to the argument ssi.method. From the results, correlation between the computed indices will also be computed. The resulting correlation matrices will be plotted as correlograms. For visual comparisons of ranks of genotypes for different indices, slopegraphs and heatmaps will also be generated by this function.
