Project Assistantship First Check-in: Data Exploration

An R file on my initial exploration of the various data files that make up experiment 7 can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/j9gnnsokwv17226lj06uj/expt07exploration.R?rlkey=aklc2gvs82q781s4juf2xk9j5&dl=0

The goal of this initial data exploration was to determine questions and hypotheses that I will be exploring with aster models. To do this it is important to see what groundwork has been laid. Nicholas Goldsmith is the one who laid most of the groundwork on analysis for this project and it can be found here: https://conservancy.umn.edu/handle/11299/252544

Initial question: How does pedigree effect reproductive effort (i.e. flowering)?

This is of interest because 61 plants in experiment 7 have flowered since 2018 (this may not be 61 unique flowering plants but instead 61 unique instances of flowering across those years [2018 – 2023]).
