Package: EstimateBreed 1.0.0

EstimateBreed: Estimation of Environmental Variables and Genetic Parameters

Performs analyzes and estimates of environmental covariates and genetic parameters related to selection strategies and development of superior genotypes. It has two main functionalities, the first being about prediction models of covariates and environmental processes, while the second deals with the estimation of genetic parameters and selection strategies. Designed for researchers and professionals in genetics and environmental sciences, the package combines statistical methods for modeling and data analysis. This includes the plastochron estimate proposed by Porta et al. (2024) <doi:10.1590/1807-1929/agriambi.v28n10e278299>, Stress indices for genotype selection referenced by Ghazvini et al. (2024) <doi:10.1007/s10343-024-00981-1>, the Environmental Stress Index described by Tazzo et al. (2024) <https://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/77035>, industrial quality indices of wheat genotypes (Szareski et al., 2019), <doi:10.4238/gmr18223>, Ear Indexes estimation (Rigotti et al., 2024), <doi:10.13083/reveng.v32i1.17394>, Selection index for protein and grain yield (de Pelegrin et al., 2017), <doi:10.4236/ajps.2017.813224>, Estimation of the ISGR - Genetic Selection Index for Resilience for environmental resilience (Bandeira et al., 2024) <https://www.cropj.com/Carvalho_18_12_2024_825_830.pdf>, estimation of Leaf Area Index (Meira et al., 2015) <https://www.fag.edu.br/upload/revista/cultivando_o_saber/55d1ef202e494.pdf>, Restriction of control variability (Carvalho et al., 2023) <doi:10.4025/actasciagron.v45i1.56156>, Risk of Disease Occurrence in Soybeans described by Engers et al. (2024) <doi:10.1007/s40858-024-00649-1> and estimation of genetic parameters for selection based on balanced experiments (Yadav et al., 2024) <doi:10.1155/2024/9946332>.
