Compute selection index

The Selection Index combines the values of multiple traits into a single value that can be used to evaluate individuals on multiple traits simultaneously.

Computing a selection index requires both two or more scoring code files and the specification of a list of numerical values indicating the weights for the traits entering the selection index. Each of the Scoring Code Files must have a numeric weight value specified in the List of weight values for the selection index option. The weight for each trait is used with the Scoring code files to compute an index value for each individual.

Check the box to compute a selection index using the trait scores.
