Asreml r 4 manual how to#

I find Genstat reliable and what I particularly like is the no-nonsense approach on how to check model assumptions, on comparing means or on the use of multiple comparisons of means, and the alternative use of polynomial contrasts, for example. The menus have been gradually developed and very much improved, which also helps to quickly check stuff (time is often scarce).

Why I use GenstatР вЂќР вЂЎor me it helps that Genstat is very well documented and often has case studies that are close to my area of expertise, namely agriculture and ecology. I use Genstat to analyse a range of field experiments on nutrient cycling in grassland, arable fields and crop rotations, and I need to apply analysis of variance, mixed models, time series, multivariate analysis, regression analyses, etc.Р вЂ™Р’В I still try out new applications when the research question demands it and find a practical solution. Later, back in my Institute in Germany I started to apply Genstat in on-going research projects and have relied on it ever since. It was then that I first learned to know Genstat and its historical background.

As an agriculturist and soil scientist working for the University of GР вЂњР’В¶ttingen and Vechta in Germany I use Genstat quite regularly, mainly for fairly standard applications.Р вЂќР вЂћfter my first degree in Agriculture and several years of applied field work research I continued my studies in England at the Soil Science Department at Reading University doing an MSc course that included Geostatistics and Multivariate Analysis.
