Summary
Data from the Dutch Variety List Trials for maize were analysed with three-way mixture method clustering and three-mode component analysis. The main objective of the paper is to demonstrate the usefulness of such multivartite analysis techniques for plant breeding data. In particular, attention is paid how one may gain insight into the complex patterns that are embodied in this type of data sets.
