Genetic competition

Good explanation on fitting competition models in forest genetic trials using asreml:

Competitive Genetics: Exploring the impact of direct and indirect genetic effects in tree breeding. https://vsni.co.uk/blogs/competitive-genetics

Based on the work by Joao Costa e Silva and Richard Kerr “Accounting for competition in genetic analysis, with particular emphasis on forest genetic trials” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11295-012-0521-8

Getting rid of convergence information in asreml

2024-03-08 / Luis

I am coding simulations where I call asreml() and it was taking longer than necessary, because it was sending the convergence information to the screen. The trick to get rid of that is to use the trace = FALSE option as in

asreml(trait_1 ~ 1, random = ~ mum, data = current_trial, trace = FALSE)
