Generating Improved Experimental Designs with Spatially and Genetically Correlated Observations Using Mixed Models

The aim of this study was to generate and evaluate the efficiency of improved field experiments while simultaneously accounting for spatial correlations and different levels of genetic relatedness using a mixed models framework for orthogonal and non-orthogonal designs. Optimality criteria and a sea...
