aridagri: Comprehensive Statistical Tools for Agricultural Research

Analysis of variance for the experimental designs used in agricultural research, with the correct error term for every stratum, standard error of mean (SEm), standard error of difference (SEd), critical difference (CD), coefficient of variation (CV) and letter groupings: completely randomized design (CRD), randomized complete block design (RCBD) with missing plots, Latin square, two- and three-factor factorials, split-plot designs (including factorial main or sub-plots), split-split-plot and strip-plot designs, and combined analysis over environments. Also covers the augmented randomized complete block design with adjusted means and genetic parameters (Federer, 1961 <doi:10.2307/2527837>), alpha lattice designs with intra-block or residual maximum likelihood (REML) analysis (Patterson and Williams, 1976 <doi:10.1093/biomet/63.1.83>) and repeated measures with Greenhouse-Geisser and Huynh-Feldt corrections and covariance structure models. Mean comparisons (least significant difference, Duncan, Tukey, Student-Newman-Keuls, Scheffe, Bonferroni and Dunnett) follow Gomez and Gomez (1984, ISBN:0471870927), with letters assigned by the algorithm of Piepho (2004) <doi:10.1198/1061860043515>. Stability analysis includes Eberhart and Russell (1966) <doi:10.2135/cropsci1966.0011183X000600010011x> regression, additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI), Finlay-Wilkinson, Shukla, Wricke, coefficient of variation and Lin-Binns methods, and genotype plus genotype-by-environment (GGE) biplots (Yan et al., 2000 <doi:10.2135/cropsci2000.403597x>). Further tools compute growing degree days, helio-thermal and photo-thermal units, crop growth rate, relative growth rate, net assimilation rate, leaf area index and leaf area duration, harvest index, yield gaps with the technology index, nutrient use efficiency, quadratic, plateau and Mitscherlich response curves with the economic optimum dose, benefit-cost ratio, correlation, principal component, path and structural equation analysis, publication tables for many traits and figures.
