Dear all / Karl,
I am struggling with one of my analyses in my undergrad dissertation.
I have nominal scores of plant habit (1-9). I have two replicates of these scores for each of my plant lines.
I know it's not a good idea to use a mean of this data, because it makes for a wacky distribution.
I have used means of my reps for all my other data, which is in continuous measurements (eg. plant height).
What can I do about my nominal data, please? Can R/QTL handle it?
Was I right in using a mean of my reps in my continuous data types?
Best wishes,
Nicola Ibbotson
