" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Step 0: Prepare data-file for analysis of similar trials conducted in augmented designs with one-way blocking system for evaluating a single factor such as genotype. The genotypes are automatically grouped as tests or checks. The texts within the (two matching) double quotes are the comments (ignored by Genstat) to help input the values of the parameters. Some input names are mandatory as defined in the program. Save this file as text file. You must include the following identifiers/abbreviations for the mandatory variables/vectors (factors). Vectors/factors TrialNo : column (factor) to represent trial. Blk : column (factor) to represent blocks ( for one-way elimination of heterogeneity factor). Geno : column (factor) to represent the single treatment factor (for example, genotype). Preparing the file: There are following 3 places of inputting information from your side. 1. First input: list the variables you wish to analyze; the whole list should be within single quotes. for example: ' GYld, HSW ' 2. Second input: list all the variables in the data file to read; the whole list should be within single quotes. for example: ' TrialNo, Blk, Geno, GYld, HSW' 3. Third input: place the columns of the data exactly in the same order as in the Second input (Step 2) Warning: a. Please do not put any column of text values. b. All the variables should be as a single word begining with a letter (such as W100Seeds or Yield, but not as ' W100 Seeds ' ). c. Variables for analysis are in Step 1, so thay must be exactly same as in Step 2, where they are being read for storing data values. d. Missing values should be expressed by an asterisk ( * ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ " ' GYld, HSW ' "<------------ List the variables you wish to analyze in this line.
