Multiple-trait, random regression, and compound symmetry models for analyzing multi-environment trials in maize breeding.

An efficient and informative statistical method to analyze genotype-by-environment interaction (GxE) is needed in maize breeding programs. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of multiple-trait models (MTM), random regression models (RRM), and compound symmetry models (...
