Given below is the code for analysis of a resolvable alpha design (alpha lattice design) using the R
package asreml
.
# load the data
library(agridat)
data(john.alpha)
dat <- john.alpha
# load asreml
library(asreml)
# model1 - random `gen`
#----------------------
# fitting the model
model1 <- asreml(yield ~ 1 + rep, data=dat, random=~ gen + rep:block)
# variance due to `gen`
sg2 <- summary(model1 )$varcomp[1,'component']
# mean variance of a difference of two BLUPs
vblup <- predict(model1 , classify="gen")$avsed ^ 2
# model2 - fixed `gen`
#----------------------
model2 <- asreml(yield ~ 1 + gen + rep, data=dat, random = ~ rep:block)
# mean variance of a difference of two adjusted treatment means (BLUE)
vblue <- predict(model2 , classify="gen")$avsed ^ 2
# H^2 = .803
sg2 / (sg2 + vblue/2)
# H^2c = .809
1-(vblup / 2 / sg2)
I am trying to replicate the above using the R
package lme4
.
# model1 - random `gen`
#----------------------
# fitting the model
model1 <- lmer(yield ~ 1 + (1|gen) + rep + (1|rep:block), dat)
# variance due to `gen`
varcomp <- VarCorr(model1)
varcomp <- data.frame(print(varcomp, comp = "Variance"))
sg2 <- varcomp[varcomp$grp == "gen",]$vcov
# model2 - fixed `gen`
#----------------------
model2 <- lmer(yield ~ 1 + gen + rep + (1|rep:block), dat)
How to compute the vblup
and vblue
(mean variance of difference) in lme4
equivalent to predict()$avsed ^ 2
of asreml
?
