Dealing with correlation in designed field experiments: part II
Published at February 10, 2025 · 11 min read
With field experiments, studying the correlation between the observed traits may not be an easy task. For example, we can consider a genotype experiment, laid out in randomised complete blocks, with 27 wheat genotypes and three replicates, where several traits were recorded, including yield (Yield) and weight of thousand kernels (TKW). We might be interested in studying the correlation between those two traits, but we would need to face two fundamental problems:
