sommer (version 4.3.6)

r2: Reliability

Description

Calculates the reliability of BLUPs in a sommer model.

Usage

r2(object, object2=NULL)

Value

result

a list with as many elements as random effects fitted containing reliabilities for individual BLUPs.

Arguments

object

Model fitted with the mmec function.

object2

An optional model identical to object in the first argument but fitted with the argument returnParam set to TRUE to access the relationship matrices from the fitted model.

Details

The reliability method calculated is the classical animal model: R2=(G-PEV)/G
