Compute the following metrics to compare quantitative traits of the entire collection (EC) and core set (CS).

  • Changeable Rate of Maximum (\(CR_{\max}\)) (Wang et al. 2007)

  • Changeable Rate of Minimum (\(CR_{\min}\)) (Wang et al. 2007)

  • Changeable Rate of Mean (\(CR_{\mu}\)) (Wang et al. 2007)

cr.evaluate.core(data, names, quantitative, selected)

Arguments

data

The data as a data frame object. The data frame should possess one row per individual and columns with the individual names and multiple trait/character data.

names

Name of column with the individual names as a character string.

quantitative

Name of columns with the quantitative traits as a character vector.

selected

Character vector with the names of individuals selected in core collection and present in the names column.

Value

The \(CR\) value.

Details

The Coincidence Rate of Range (\(CR\)) is computed as follows.

\[CR = \left ( \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{R_{CS_{i}}}{R_{EC_{i}}} \right ) \times 100\]

Where, \(R_{CS_{i}}\) is the range of the \(i\)th trait in the CS, \(R_{EC_{i}}\) is the range of the \(i\)th trait in the EC and \(n\) is the total number of traits.

A representative CS should have a \(CR\) value no less than 70% (Diwan et al. 1995) or 80% (Hu et al. 2000) .

The Changeable Rate of Maximum (\(CR_{\max}\)) is computed as follows.

\[CR_{\max} = \left ( \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{\max_{CS_{i}}}{\max_{EC_{i}}} \right ) \times 100\]

Where, \(\max_{CS_{i}}\) is the maximum value of the \(i\)th trait in the CS, \(\max_{EC_{i}}\) is the maximum value of the \(i\)th trait in the EC and \(n\) is the total number of traits.

The Changeable Rate of Minimum (\(CR_{\min}\)) is computed as follows.

\[CR_{\min} = \left ( \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{\min_{CS_{i}}}{\min_{EC_{i}}} \right ) \times 100\]

Where, \(\min_{CS_{i}}\) is the minimum value of the \(i\)th trait in the CS, \(\min_{EC_{i}}\) is the minimum value of the \(i\)th trait in the EC and \(n\) is the total number of traits.

The Changeable Rate of Mean (\(CR_{\mu}\)) is computed as follows.

\[CR_{\mu} = \left ( \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{\mu_{CS_{i}}}{\mu_{EC_{i}}} \right ) \times 100\]

Where, \(\mu_{CS_{i}}\) is the mean value of the \(i\)th trait in the CS, \(\mu_{EC_{i}}\) is the mean value of the \(i\)th trait in the EC and \(n\) is the total number of traits.

Note

NaN or Inf values for \[CR_{\min}\] occurs when the minimum values for some of the traits are zero.
