## Multi-environment trial of peanuts for 10 genotypes in 15 environments

### Description

Peanut yields for 10 genotypes in 15 environments

### Usage

    data("kang.peanut")

### Format

A data frame with 590 observations on the following 4 variables.

`gen`

  genotype factor, 10 levels

`rep`

  replicate factor, 4 levels

`yield`

  yield

`env`

  environment factor, 15 levels

### Details

Florman, Tegua, mf484, mf485, mf487, mf489 have a long crop cycle. The others have a short crop cycle.

This data is also likely used in Casanoves et al 2005, "Evaluation of Multienvironment Trials of Peanut Cultivars", but this appears to be a slightly smaller subset (only 10 genotypes, and perhaps only the years 96,97,98,99). Based on the d.f. in their table 5, it appears that environment E13 was grown in 1998. (5 loc * (4-1) = 15, but the table has 14, and 98-99 had only 3 reps instead of 4 reps.)

    round(acast(dat, env~gen, value.var='yield', fun=mean),2)

    # GGE biplot of Kang, p. 82.
    require(gge)
