Re: Heterogeneous variance model in ASREML

Dear Subash,

Assuming I have interpreted the SAS model correctly,

The corresponding ASReml code is

fruit_set_mean ~ mu pedigree location pedigree.location !r rep.location
3 1
<n1>
<n2>
<n3>

ASReml requires the data be sorted on location and that you have
counted the numbers of records in each location
[which you could do with
  tabulate fruit_set_mean ~ location !COUNT
given as a command line before the model line,
or by using the !SUMMARY qualifier on the data line.]

In this code, 3 is the number of separate locations; equivalently
written as
location 1

<n1> is the number of plots in location 1
<n2> is the number of plots in location 2
<n3> is the number of plots in location 3
--------------

An alternate specification is
fruit_set_mean ~ mu pedigree location pedigree.location ,
 !r rep.location uni(location,1) !GU uni(location,2) !GU

wherein the uni(location,1) model term picks up the difference in
residual variance between loc 1 and loc 3; uni(location,2) picks up the
difference in residual variance between loc 2 and loc 3; and the
reported residual variance will be the variance for location 3.
