Designs Robust Against the Presence of an Aberration in a Diallel Cross Design Setup

TL;DR: In this article, the authors find that complete and partial diallel cross designs are robust to the presence of an outlier in a block design setup for estimating a complete set of orthonormal contrasts among the effects of the general combining abilities of a set of parental lines.
Abstract: In this article, we find designs insensitive to the presence of an outlier in a diallel cross design setup for estimating a complete set of orthonormal contrasts among the effects of the general combining abilities of a set of parental lines. The criterion of robustness, suggested by Mandal (1989) in block design setup and used by Biswas (2012) in treatment-control setup, is adapted here. Complete diallel cross designs, suggested by Gupta and Kageyama (1994), and partial diallel cross designs, suggested by Gupta et al. (1995) and Mukerjee (1997), are found to be robust under certain conditions.

TL;DR: The utility of diallel crosses is considered, using data available in the literature together with some new figures from an i8x i8 cross in tomatoes, based on ideas introduced in the classical paper of Fisher (1918) and developed by Fisher, Immer and Tedin (1932) and Mather (i4g).
Abstract: A DIALLEL cross consists of all possible crosses between a number of varieties. Reciprocal crosses, and the selfed parents, may or may not be omitted. Such a set of crosses is obviously of interest to the plant breeder, but the information obtained may not be worth the trouble of making the cross. In this paper the utility of such crosses is considered, using data available in the literature together with some new figures from an i8x i8 cross in tomatoes. The statistical analysis of a diallel cross has been described by Yates (1947). It consists of fitting additive main effects for parents, and their interactions in the individual crosses. Such a main effect is sometimes called\" general combining ability \"or\" additive genetical component\" while an interaction may be referred to as \"specific combining ability\" or \"non-additive genetical component \". The word interaction is used here in its purely statistical sense of a departure from additivity. It should not be confused with any form of genetical interaction between postulated \"genes \". The interactions are part of the statistical description of the data, being the ups and downs which remain when the main effects have been taken out. The analysis is similar to that of factorial experiments, and merely assumes that the contributions of male and female parents are equally important. The exact mode of inheritance is not specified, and the analysis would be as effective for, say, blending inheritance as for Mendelian. There is no need for the parents to be inbred (or to have a uniform coefficient of inbreeding). It may be objected that a plant breeder is interested in, say, the top 2 per cent. of each progeny, and so wishes to estimate not the mean a but j-+2a where a is the standard deviation. This, however, involves an adjustment in practice and not in principle. In many cases there will not be enough replication to give useful estimates of a for each particular cross and heterogeneity of variance will be undetectable. Main effects can, however, be fitted for log variance or standard deviation in the same way as for progeny means. This factorial method of analysis is to be judged by its success in describing the data. 1. THE POLYGENE\" ANALYSIS A second method of analysis, based on ideas introduced in the classical paper of Fisher (1918) and developed by Fisher, Immer and Tedin (1932) and Mather (i4g), has been put forward by Jinks and Hayman Jinks (i) and Hayman (i954b). It involves the assumption, inter alia, that the yield (or whatever character is being

TL;DR: In this paper, the robustness of block designs for the problem of estimation of any full set of orthonormal varietal contrasts is examined, and an attempt has been made to examine their robustness against the presence of wild observations.
Abstract: Box and Draper (1975) proposed a criterion of robustness against the presence of wild observations for the problem of estimation of Xβ in the response surface model E(Y) = Xβ, D(Y) = σ2.I. Gopalau and Dey (1976) elttended this concept to block designs setting, for the problem of estimation of σ2. In the present note an attempt has been made to examine the robustness of block designs for the problem of estimation of any full set of orthonormal varietal contrasts.

  • ...CDC in a Nested BIB Design As pointed out earlier, for the purpose of restricting to one replication of each cross, let us follow the approach of Gupta and Kageyama (1994) for getting a CDC. Thus, considering the v parental lines as treatments in an incomplete block design D in b blocks and constant replication r for each parent and constant block size k′ = 2k, k pairs of parents are formed in each block which provides k crosses for each block. The pairing results in a complete diallel cross if an irreducible balanced incomplete block design, say Dn, with block size 2 is nested within D. Now, D is also taken to be a BIB design for the sake of robustness. Gupta and Kageyama (1994) constructed two series of such designs with n = 1....
