Re: Correlations in bivariate models and other things



Dear Hermann,

The .as file you have given is not correct for multivariate analysis.

I suggest you do univariate analyses first:

 Prueba de evaluacion de ensayos de E globulus de Mel-Mel
  arbol !P                    # tree
  familia 199              # family (i.e. dam, cause these families are
                           # half-sib families)
  localidad 2               # site
  bloque 5                   # blocks
  procedencia 26        # provenance
  altura                       # height
  dap                          # diameter
 pedigree.txt !alpha !make
 datosmm.txt !skip 1
 altura  ~ mu !r arbol bloque procedencia bloque.procedencia,
                 bloque.familia

and


 Prueba de evaluacion de ensayos de E globulus de Mel-Mel
  arbol !P                    # tree
  familia 199              # family (i.e. dam, cause these families are
                           # half-sib families)
  localidad 2               # site
  bloque 5                   # blocks
  procedencia 26        # provenance
  altura                       # height
  dap                          # diameter
 pedigree.txt !alpha !make
 datosmm.txt !skip 1
 dap  ~ mu !r arbol bloque procedencia bloque.procedencia,
                 bloque.familia



Following is a simplified Bivariate analysis
Based on values from the univariate run, you will
need to extend it to include the block terms

 Prueba de evaluacion de ensayos de E globulus de Mel-Mel
  arbol !P                    # tree
  familia 199              # family (i.e. dam, cause thee families are
                           # half-sib families)
  localidad 2               # site
  bloque 5                   # blocks
  procedencia 26        # provenance
  altura                       # height
  dap                          # diameter
 pedigree.txt !alpha !make
 datosmm.txt !skip 1
 altura dap ~ Trait !r Tr.arbol Tr.bloque Tr.procedencia,
      -Tr.bloque.procedencia     -Tr.bloque.familia
      
 1 2 3
 0
 Trait 0 US
 
 Tr.arbol 2
 Trait 0 US
 arbol
 
 Tr.bloque 2
 Trait 0 US
 bloque
 
 Tr.procedencia 2
 Trait 0 US
 procedencia
 
 
 This uis the basic coding but you will probably need to specify
 initial variance for the matrices based on the univariate run
 and a quessed correlation between traits.
 
 However, of the univariate analysis shows a term is very small for 
 a trait, leave it out of the bivariate analysis.
 
 The above coding specifies 12 variance components so the .pin file
 might look like
 
 F aaF 1 + 4 + 7 + 10
 F adF 2 + 5 + 8 + 11
 F ddf 3 + 6 + 9 + 12
 H ah2 4 13
 H dh2 6 15
 R rg  4 5 6
 R re  1 2 3
 R rp  13 14 15
