Compute the following differences between the entire collection (EC) and core set (CS).

  • Percentage of significant differences of mean (\(MD\%_{Hu}\)) (Hu et al. 2000)

  • Percentage of significant differences of variance (\(VD\%_{Hu}\)) (Hu et al. 2000)

  • Average of absolute differences between means (\(MD\%_{Kim}\)) (Kim et al. 2007)

  • Average of absolute differences between variances (\(VD\%_{Kim}\)) (Kim et al. 2007)

  • Percentage difference between the mean squared Euclidean distance among accessions (\(\overline{d}D\%\)) (Studnicki et al. 2013)

  • Percentage of range ratios smaller than 0.70 (\(S_{RR_{0.7}}\)) (Diwan et al. 1995)

percentdiff.evaluate.core(
  data,
  names,
  quantitative,
  selected,
  alpha = 0.05,
  rr.crit = 0.7
)

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.

alpha

Type I error probability (Significance level) of difference.

rr.crit

The critical value of range ratio considered to be acceptable for a representative CS. The default value is 0.7.

Value

A data frame with the values of

\(MD\%_{Hu}\),

\(VD\%_{Hu}\),

\(MD\%_{Kim}\),

\(VD\%_{Kim}\) and

\(\overline{d}D\%\).

Details

The differences are computed as follows.

\[MD\%_{Hu} = \left ( \frac{S_{t}}{n} \right ) \times 100\]

Where, \(S_{t}\) is the number of traits with a significant difference between the means of the EC and the CS and \(n\) is the total number of traits. A representative core should have \(MD\%_{Hu}\) < 20 % and \(CR\) > 80 % (Hu et al. 2000) .

\[VD\%_{Hu} = \left ( \frac{S_{F}}{n} \right ) \times 100\]

Where, \(S_{F}\) is the number of traits with a significant difference between the variances of the EC and the CS and \(n\) is the total number of traits. Larger \(VD\%_{Hu}\) value indicates a more diverse core set.

\[MD\%_{Kim} = \left ( \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{\left | M_{EC_{i}}-M_{CS_{i}} \right |}{M_{CS_{i}}} \right ) \times 100\]

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

\[VD\%_{Kim} = \left ( \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{\left | V_{EC_{i}}-V_{CS_{i}} \right |}{V_{CS_{i}}} \right ) \times 100\]

Where, \(V_{EC_{i}}\) is the variance of the EC for the \(i\)th trait, \(V_{CS_{i}}\) is the variance of the CS for the \(i\)th trait and \(n\) is the total number of traits.

\[\overline{d}D\% = \frac{\overline{d}_{CS}-\overline{d}_{EC}}{\overline{d}_{EC}} \times 100\]

Where, \(\overline{d}_{CS}\) is the mean squared Euclidean distance among accessions in the CS and \(\overline{d}_{EC}\) is the mean squared Euclidean distance among accessions in the EC.

Percentage of range ratios smaller than 0.70 (Diwan et al. 1995) is computed as follows.

\[RR\%_{0.7} = \left ( \frac{S_{RR_{0.7}}}{n} \right ) \times 100\]

Where, \(S_{RR_{0.7}}\) is the number of traits with a range ratio smaller than 0.7 (\(\frac{R_{CS_{i}}}{R_{EC_{i}}} < 0.7\)) \(R_{CS_{i}}\) 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.
