Select Final Model (Single environment)

Use this to select and fit a final QTL model to estimate QTL effects for single environment trials. QTLs are selected from a list of candidate QTLs (loci) in single-environment trials by backward selection.

Display

This specifies which items of output are to be produced by the analysis.

Summary A summary of the QTLs retained in the model
Model Description of the model fitted by the analysis
Variance parameters Estimates of variance parameters
Estimated effects Estimates of QTL effects
Wald test Wald tests for all QTL effects in model
Monitoring Monitoring output from the mixed model analysis

Run QTL backward selection

When selected backward selection is used to determine a set of QTLs from the candidate QTLs.

Significance level for backward selection

The significance level to use at each step of the backward selection process.

Graphics

This specifies whether plots are to be produced by the analysis.

Plot QTL positions on genetic map Plots the significant QTLs on a genetic map.

Save

These results can be saved when fitting the final QTL model. After selecting the appropriate boxes, you need to type the names for the identifiers of the data structures into the corresponding In: fields.

Effects Variate Saves the estimated QTL effects.
Standard error of effects Variate Saves the standard errors of the QTL effects.
QTL positions Variate Saves the index numbers of the selected QTLs. This option is only enabled when the Run QTL backward selection option is selected.
QTL save structure Pointer Pointer to QTL save structure storing information and results for the significant effects. This structure cannot be displayed in a spreadsheet.
