Estimating optimum and base selection indices in plant and animal breeding programs by development new and simple SAS and R codes.

Abstract excerpt

Selection of desirable genotypes or progenies is perhaps the most important practical method in plant and animal breeding programs. The selection index method is the most useful method to choose superior genotypes based on using simultaneous several traits. The optimum and base selection indices are the two indicators that are most used in plant and animal breeding. In this paper, a simple and practical code was...
