You may know that many statistical software packages can generate biplots. However, GGEbiplot not only generates perfect biplots of all possible models but also analyzes them in all possible ways, many of them novel and unique. Further, GGEbiplot is created for use by all researchers, not just stats wizards...

Description/Comment

(if not self-evident)

Data

 

 

This group of functions saves a lot of time and makes GGEbiplot many times more efficient. Everyone who values time should select this module.

 

Entry/Tester Switch Roles

 

This is a very useful function. It means many more additional models for the same set of data. It is particularly useful when the dataset has two many columns but relatively fewer rows (e.g., genetic mapping data can have too many markers while Microsoft spreadsheets have only 255 columns. Such data will have to be prepared as few columns and many rows. After read by GGEbiplot, this function is essential to achieve the research purpose.

 

Fill Missing Cells By...

 

 

 

 

Weighed from Similar Entries

This function chooses five rows that are most similar to the row that has missing values. Weights are assigned to the rows according to the degrees of similarity, and the missing cells are estimated and filled.

 

 

Entry Means

Fill the missing cell with the entry mean.

 

 

Tester Means

Fill the missing cell with the tester mean.

 

 

Entry and Tester Means

Fill the missing cell with the average of the entry mean and the tester mean.

 

Derived variable

 

A new variable can be derived and added from existing variables

 

Run BALANCED Subset by...

 

This allows the generation of balanced subset of the data that is read. This functions save a lot of the researcher’s time and hassle.

 

 

Deleting Testers

 

 

 

Deleting Entries

 

 

Run Partially Balanced Subset by...

 

Similar to above but allows the user to specify a degree of tolerance on the unbalancedness of the data.

 

 

Deleting Testers

 

 

 

Deleting Entries

 

 

Run ANY subset by...

 

This allows generation of a biplot based on ANY possible subset of the original data. Extremely useful.

 

 

Deleting Testers

 

 

 

Deleting Entries

 

 

Entry Stratification

 

This group of functions allows subset of the entries be selected based on their biplot position.

 

 

Vertex Entries only

Only the entries that are on the vertex hulls are selected.

 

 

Entries outside a sector

Entries within a specified sector are excluded from the biplot

 

 

Entries within a sector

Entries within a specified sector are included in the biplot

 

 

High mean entries

Entries with higher mean values across testers are selected based on a criterion specified by the user. This allows a better appreciation of the entry by tester (genotype by environment) interactions and the identification of specifically adapted genotypes.

 

 

Low mean entries

Entries with lower mean values across testers are selected based on a criterion specified by the user.

 

 

Possible winners only

Only entries that are a winner for one more of the testers are selected.

 

 

Long Vector Entries

Entries that have vectors longer than a specified value are included. These entries (genotypes) are more responsive to the testers (environments).

 

 

Short Vector Entries

Entries that have vectors shorter than a specified value are included. These entries (genotypes) are less responsive to the testers (environments).

 

Tester Stratification

 

 

 

 

Testers outside a sector

Testers within a specified sector are excluded from the biplot

 

 

Testers within a sector

Testers within a specified sector are included in the biplot for more detailed investigation

 

 

Long vector testers

Testers that have vectors longer than a specified value are included. These entries (genotypes) are more discriminating of the entries

 

 

Short vector testers

Testers that have vectors shorter than a specified value are included. These testers are less well represented in the original biplot or they have little associations with those that have longer vectors in the original biplot

 

Back to Previous Subset

 

This generates a biplot based on a previous subset of the original data

 

Back to Original Data

 

This generates a biplot based on the full data as it was first read from the data file or generated by GGEbiplot from 3-way or 4-way or multi-way data

 

Reverse the Sign of...

 

 

 

 

One Tester

Sometimes a trait is so measured that a smaller value means more desirable. In such case, this function will be useful to identify the desirable genotypes.

 

 

All Testers

Sometimes smaller values mean more desirable. In such case, this function will be useful to identify the desirable genotypes.

 

For Diallel Data Analysis...

 

This group of functions are useful for Diallel cross data only.

 

 

Complete the Two-way Table

Dataset from Diallel crosses without reciprocals contains data only half of the 2-way table. This function can automatically fill the other half so that biplot analysis can be completed.

 

 

Remove Reciprocal Effect

Dataset from Diallel crosses with reciprocals contains data consisting of two unsymmetrical triangles. This function can automatically averages the reciprocals and makes the two-way table symmetrical, whereby the reciprocal effects are removed.

 

 

Exclude Parents Per se

Values of the parents per se are removed and treated as missing values.
