Hi,

I calculated BLUPS for days to flowering in rice. Formula and model I used is : lmer(DF ~ (1|Genotype) + (1|Loc) + (1|Year) + (1|Genotype:Loc) + (1|Genotype:Year)). After it I used ranef() function to get BLUP estimates. From these estimates, I extracted BLUPs for the said trait. These are actually intercept values used as estimate. From these estimates, how to calculate breeding values or I can use it as breeding values? Any suggestion.
