Description
Genetic Study of Plant Mixtures.
Description
Fit linear mixed models dedicated to the genetic study of plant mixtures, such as those based on general and specific mixing abilities (GMA-SMA) as well as direct and social breeding values (DBV-SBV), also known as direct and indirect genetic effects (DGE-IGE). More details in Forst et al (2019, <doi:10.1016/j.fcr.2019.107571>) for GMA-SMA models, and Salomon et al (2026, <doi:10.64898/2026.03.27.714849>) for DBV-SBV models. The package also provides functions to optimize experimental designs, simulate data sets and compute interaction indices.
