Diallel mating is a frequently used design for estimating the additive and dominance genetic (polygenic) effects involved in quantitative traits observed in the half- and full-sib progenies generated in plant breeding programmes. Gibbs sampling has been used for making statistical inferences for a mixed-inheritance model (MIM) that includes both major genes and polygenes. However, using this ap...

Welcome to the “BayesDiallel” R-package: software designed to provide parameter confidence measures for the many possible interpreative models of phenotypes generated by a diallel experiment1. This package provides a mostly-automated method for converting diallel phenotype measurements to Bayesian Gibbs-sampled model fits of the data, generating posterior-confidence measures and prediction plot...
