Re: Diallel analysis warning message

Arthur,

Thanks you for the suggestion. I received similar warning from Greg
Dutkowski.

The second issue you pointed out is the GCA by Environment interaction
term.
The full model is ;

y = mu + site + block(rep) + GCA + SCA + GCAx Site + SCA x Site + Error

Block is nested within Site.

I included the GCA x Site Interaction terms as:

test.male and(test.female)

Your suggestion was:

 test.male -test.female and(test.female),

Could you please comment on the GCA x Site interaction term in the model?

Thanks,

Fikret
