seliNDRIx: Construction of Selection Index (original) (raw)

Selection index is one of the efficient and acurrate method for selection of animals. This package is useful for construction of selection indices. It uses mixed and random model least squares analysis to estimate the heritability of traits and genetic correlation between traits. The package uses the sire model as it is considered as random effect. The genetic and phenotypic (co)variances along with the relative economic values are used to construct the selection index for any number of traits. It also estimates the accuracy of the index and the genetic gain expected for different traits. Fisher (1936) <doi:10.1111/j.1469-1809.1936.tb02137.x>.
