The first thing to do is to read some data into the
program. The data file should be in ``free field'', ``white
spaced'' ascii format. Each line corresponds to one
individual plant and should contain the following variables:
- i
- The plant identification number
- xi
- The x-coordinate of the plant.
- yi
- The y-coordinate.
- zi
- The z-coordinate.
- ti
- The time at which each plant started flowering.
- mi
- Some variable related to the amount of pollen
produced by each plant
- ki
- The genotype of each plant. (Only homozygotes
are currently handled by the program, although
handling heterozygotes would be straigthforward
to implement.) Let ki=1 for plants with
genotype AA, and ki=2 for genotype aa.
- Ni
- The total number of seeds collected from plant
i.
- Mi
- The number of seeds pollinated by the first
plant variety.
Variables that haven't been measured should be replaced by
sample means or should be set equal to zero.
