Genetic effects: Genetic Effects

Description

geneticEffects displays the genetic effects (and their standard errors) from the result of linearRegression. If a new reference point is provided, a "change of reference" operation is performed (Alvarez-Castro and Carlborg 2007).

Usage

geneticEffects(obj, reference="P1", ref.genotype = NULL)

Arguments

obj

An object of class "noia.linear" provided by linearRegression.

reference

The new reference point. Can be "F2", "F1", "Finf", "P1", "P2" (see linearRegression for details.

ref.genotype

The same as reference, provided for compatibility with older versions.

Author

Arnaud Le Rouzic

Details

Variance decomposition and change of reference operation are not possible from the result of a multilinear regression.
