h2: Broad sense heritability calculation.

Description

This dataset contains phenotpic data for 41 potato lines evaluated in 5 locations across 3 years in an RCBD design. The phenotypic trait is tuber quality and we show how to obtain an estimate of h2 for the trait.

Usage

data("h2")

Format

The format is: chr "h2"
