Simulation and Data Analysis for Plant Breeders

Provides tools for simulation of plant breeding programs as described, for example, by Melchinger and Frisch (2023) , prediction of segregation variance (Osthushenrich, Frisch and Herzog (2017) ), genomic prediction (Hofheinz and Frisch (2014) ), linkage disequilibrium based haplotype construction, and planning of marker assisted back crossing programs. Functions to fit linear mixed models and for phasing and imputation of DNA marker data are also included.
