Overview

About

Maintained by Muhammad YaseenCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides functionalities for performing stability analysis of genotype by environment interaction (GEI) to identify superior and stable genotypes across diverse environments. It implements Eberhart and Russell’s ANOVA method (1966)(doi:10.2135/cropsci1966.0011183X000600010011x), Finlay and Wilkinson’s Joint Linear Regression method (1963) (doi:10.1071/AR9630742), Wricke’s Ecovalence (1962, 1964), Shukla’s stability variance parameter (1972) (doi:10.1038/hdy.1972.87), Kang’s simultaneous selection for high yield and stability (1991) (doi:10.2134/agronj1991.00021962008300010037x), Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) method and Genotype plus Genotypes by Environment (GGE) Interaction methods.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("stability", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("myaseen208/stability")

Development version from myaseen208/stability. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-stability

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-stability

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-stability

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
