Replication Data for: The relative efficiency of a Bayesian linear phenotypic selection index to predict the net genetic merit in plants

Abstract

In breeding, the net genetic merit of candidates for selection is a linear combination of the breeding values of the traits of interest weighted by their respective economic values. This dataset contains the R code that accompanies a publication that describes an evaluation of linear phenotypic selection indices (LPSI) and Bayesian linear phenotypic selection indices (BLPSI).
