ASReml is vital for scientists and researchers with very large datasets, who may need to apply complex statistical models. Unlike other software systems ASReml can easily and efficiently handle large datasets. ASReml is unique in that it uses the Average Information (AI) algorithm for the fitting of linear mixed models and it is optimised for working with genetics data and hence performs considerably faster than other generic data analysis software. The superior range of variance models are specifically suited to the analysis of data arising from genetic applications in animal and plants, so ASReml is chosen by researchers and scientists who need these specific analysis tools provided in ASReml.
Please note ASReml is provided for free for people in a degree granting institute engaged in research and teaching worldwide.
