In this section we will use the data examples data_ge
and data_ge2
provided in the metan package. For more information, please, see ?data_ge
and ?data_ge2
. Other data sets can be used provided that the following columns are in the dataset: environment, genotype, block/replicate and response variable(s). See the section Rendering engine to know how HTML tables were generated.
The function mtsi()
is used to compute the multi-trait stability index (MTSI) proposed by Olivoto et al. (2019). The first argument is a model of the class waasb
or waas
. It is possible to compute the MTSI for both WAASB -stability only- and WAASBY -simultaneous selection for mean performance and stability.
In the following example, the selection of stable genotypes will consider five traits, namely, KW, NKE, PH, EH, and TKW. Note that the output of the function waasb()
is passed to the function mtsi()
by the forward-pipe operator %>%
. Finally, the MTSI index is plotted using the function plot()
.
The following code considers that higher values for KW, NKE, TKW are better, and lower values for PH and EH are better. By using wresp = 65
, the simultaneous selection for mean performance and stability will prioritize the mean performance (mean of the variables) rather than their stability across environments.
MTSI_index2 <-
data_ge2 %>%
waasb(ENV, GEN, REP,
resp = c(KW, NKE, PH, EH, TKW),
mresp = c("h, h, l, l, h"),
wresp = 65) %>% # Default is 50
mtsi(SI = 20)
# Factor analysis
gmd(MTSI_index2, "FA") %>% print_table()
The MGIDI index can be seen as the MTSI index with a weigth of 100 for mean performance. This index is computed with the function mgidi()
. Here, we will use the example data data_g()
. By default, all traits are assumed to be increased. To change this default, use the argument ideotype
. For example, if for three traits, the first one is assumed to be decreased and the last two are assumed to be increased, use ideotype = c("l, h, h")
.
mod <- gamem(data_g,
gen = GEN,
rep = REP,
resp = everything())
mgidi_index <- mgidi(mod,
SI = 20) # Selection intensity
p1 <- plot(mgidi_index, SI = 20)
p2 <- plot(mgidi_index, type = "contribution")
arrange_ggplot(p1, p2)
The Smith-Hazel index ((Smith 1936; Hazel 1943)) is computed with the function Smith_Hazel()
. Users can compute the index either by declaring known genetic and phenotypic variance-covariance matrices or by using as inpute data, a model fitted with the function gamem()
. In this case, the variance-covariance are extracted internally. The economic weights in the argument weights
are set by default to 1 for all traits.
smith <- Smith_Hazel(mod, SI = 20)
The FAI-BLUP is a multi-trait index based on factor analysis and ideotype-design recently proposed by Rocha, Machado, and Carneiro (2018). It is based on factor analysis, when the factorial scores of each ideotype are designed according to the desirable and undesirable factors. Then, a spatial probability is estimated based on genotype-ideotype distance, enabling genotype ranking (Rocha, Machado, and Carneiro 2018). Here we will use the mixed-model mod
as inpute data. By default, the selection is made to increase the value of all traits. Change this default with the arguments DI
and UI
.
fai <- fai_blup(mod, SI = 20)
plot(fai)
The function coincidence_indexes()
can be used to compute the coincidence index described by Hamblin and Zimmermann (1986), among the multi-trait indexes implemented in metan
. To do that, just use a comma-separated list of indexes as inpute data and inform the total number of genotypes.
coincidence <- coincidence_index(mgidi_index, fai, smith, total = 13)
coincidence
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Coincidence index and common genotypes
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# # A tibble: 3 x 5
# V1 V2 index common genotypes
# <chr> <chr> <dbl> <int> <chr>
# 1 mgidi_index fai 100 3 H13,H5,H2
# 2 mgidi_index smith 56.71 2 H13,H5
# 3 fai smith 56.71 2 H5,H13
We can also produce a Venn plot to show the relationships between the indexes
MGIDI <- gmd(mgidi_index, "sel_gen")
# Class of the model: mgidi
# Variable extracted: sel_gen
FAI <- gmd(fai, "sel_gen")
# Class of the model: fai_blup
# Variable extracted: sel_gen
SH <- gmd(smith, "sel_gen")
# Class of the model: sh
# Variable extracted: sel_gen
# Create the plot
venn_plot(MGIDI, FAI, SH, show_elements = TRUE)

using the following function.

# Function to make HTML tables
