v2.17.2

2.17.2

DEPRECATED

• pin() does not work with asreml version 4 (should still work with asreml version 3 model objects)
  • nadiv will not support this in the future as asreml v4 has vpredict()

NEW

• proLik4(), essentially the same as proLik(), but works on asreml v4

  • proLik() is kept to retain compatibility with asreml v3 model objects

• makeM() creates mutational effects relatedness matrix M directly

  • can be used with brms/JAGS etc. that require relatedness matrices (not their inverse) in mixed models

Small changes

• fixed deprecated use of Matrix non-virtual subclasses

  • addresses issues with Matrix 1.4-2 and specifically >=1.5-0

• new c++ routine to calculate coefficients of inbreeding and D of Cholesky decomposed A matrix

  • follows Meuwissen and Luo's (1992) algorithm
  • standardizes this code and consolidates to 1 location, instead of being spread out as copies in several other places
