FMEGAENVIRONMENTS procedure

Forms mega-environments based on winning genotypes from an AMMI-2 model (D.A. Murray & M. Malosetti).

Option

PRINT = string tokens What to print (summary); default summ

Parameters

DATA = variates Provides the data to be analysed
GENOTYPES = factors Specifies the genotypes
ENVIRONMENTS = factors Specifies the environments (or locations when years are supplied)
YEARS = factors Specifies years within locations
MEGAENVIRONMENTS = factors Saves the mega-environments

Description

FMEGAENVIRONMENTS forms mega-environments based on the winning genotype from each environment using an AMMI-2 model.

The data to be analysed must be supplied in a variate, using the DATA parameter. The associated genotype and environment factors are specified using the GENOTYPES and ENVIRONMENTS parameters, respectively.

For environments that contain data from several years, FMEGAENVIRONMENTS can form mega-environments on the basis of locations and not years. The locations should then be supplied in a factor using the ENVIRONMENTS parameter, and the years within the locations should be supplied in a factor using the YEARS parameter.

The MEGAENVIRONMENTS parameter saves the mega-environments in a factor.

You can set option PRINT=summary to display a summary of the winning genotype in each environment and the mega-environment allocation.

Option: PRINT.

Parameters: DATA, GENOTYPES, ENVIRONMENTS, YEARS, MEGAENVIRONMENTS.

Method

The AMMI procedure is used to fit an AMMI-2 model to the genotype-by-environment data table, or the genotype-by-location data table when years within locations have been supplied. The fitted values are then used to identify the winning genotype within each environment.

Action with RESTRICT

FMEGAENVIRONMENTS takes account of any restrictions on DATA, GENOTYPES, ENVIRONMENTS and YEARS.
