Interactive Stability Analysis of Multi-Environment Trials

A 'shiny' application for the stability analysis of multi-environment trials of plant breeding with the package 'stability': analyses of variance, Eberhart and Russell's and Finlay and Wilkinson's regression, Wricke's, Shukla's, Kang's and Fox's statistics, Eskridge's safety-first indices, Annicchiarico's, Lin and Binns' and Huehn's statistics, AMMI analysis and stability values, and the GGE biplot. Every analysis comes with its tables, plots, the R code that repeats it and an interpretation specific to the method, computed from the results; an optional longer written interpretation can be requested from an external text service with the user's own key.

StabilityApp: Interactive Stability Analysis of Multi-Environment

Trials

Overview

StabilityApp runs the twenty analyses of the package stability in a web browser: tables of means and effects; analyses of variance in each environment, combined and Eberhart and Russell’s; Finlay and Wilkinson’s regression, variance measures, Shukla’s stability variance with Kang’s yield-stability statistic, Kang’s rank-sum and Fox’s top third; Eskridge’s safety-first indices, Annicchiarico’s reliability index, Lin and Binns’ superiority measure and Huehn’s nonparametric statistics; AMMI analysis, biplots and stability values; and the GGE biplot with the which-won-where, mean-stability and discrimination views in each of its three scalings.

Every analysis shows

an interpretation written for its method and computed from its results (stability::stab_interpret());
its tables (CSV and Excel export) and plots (PNG and PDF);
the R code that repeats it.

A longer written interpretation can be requested from an external text service with your own key (sa_services()); the request (sa_prompt()) is specific to the method and contains the computed findings, which the text must keep to. No data file is sent.

Installation

install.packages("StabilityApp")
# development version
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("myaseen208/StabilityApp")

The package stability, which does the analyses, and the other packages it needs are installed with it automatically. To install from a downloaded source file, use a function that also installs the dependencies:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_local("StabilityApp_1.0.0.tar.gz")

(install.packages("StabilityApp_1.0.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL) does not install dependencies; with it, run install.packages("stability") first.)

Start

library(StabilityApp)
StabilityApp(
    launch.browser = TRUE
  )
