In this document we present details of the benchmark of the tensorEVD() routine against the eigen() function of the ‘base’ R-package (R Core Team 2021) in performing the eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) of a Hadamard matrix product involving two covariance structure matrices \(\textbf{K}_1\) and \(\textbf{K}_2\),
\[
\textbf{K} = (\textbf{Z}_1\textbf{K}_1\textbf{Z}'_1)\odot(\textbf{Z}_2\textbf{K}_2\textbf{Z}'_2).
\] We assessed the computational time used to derive eigenvectors, the accuracy of the approximation provided by tensorEVD(), and the dimension of the resulting basis. Likewise, we evaluated the performance of the approximation of the Hadamard \(\textbf{K}\) provided by the tensorEVD() method in Gaussian linear models in terms of variance components estimates and cross-validation prediction accuracies.
The data used in these benchmarks was generated by the Genomes-To-Fields (G2F) Initiative (Lima et al. 2023) which was curated and expanded by adding environmental covariates (EC) by Lopez-Cruz et al. (2023). We used the subset of the data corresponding to the northern testing locations that includes \(n=59,069\) records for 4 traits (grain yield, anthesis, silking, and anthesis-silking interval) from \(n_G = 4,344\) hybrids and \(n_E = 97\) environments.
We used a data analysis pipeline as shown below with folders code, data, output, parms, and source.

Next, this data subset is used to derive a genetic (GRM, VanRaden 2008) for the \(n_G = 4,344\) hybrids as \(\textbf{K}_G = \textbf{X}\textbf{X}'/trace(\textbf{X}\textbf{X}')\), where \(\textbf{X}\) is the matrix of centered SNPs (hybrids in rows, SNPs in columns). Likewise, an environmental relationship matrix (ERM) is derived for the \(n_E = 97\) environments as \(\textbf{K}_E = \textbf{W}\textbf{W}'/trace(\textbf{W}\textbf{W}')\) where \(\textbf{W}\) is the matrix of centered and scaled ECs (environments in rows, ECs in columns).

Then, we factorized the resulting Hadamard product matrix using the R-base function eigen() as well as using tensorEVD(), deriving as many eigenvectors as needed to explain a proportion \(\alpha=0.90,0.95,0.98\) of the total variance. We implemented 10 replicates of each experiment.
The R-script 1_simulation.R was used to perform the analysis for a given combination of parameters (nG, nE, n, alpha, and replicate). To do this, first, we created an array with all combinations of the parameters. A data.frame object called JOBS containing \(3\times3\times3\times3\times10=810\) rows and the \(5\) parameters in columns, was created using the expand.grid R-function and saved in folder parms
JOBS <- expand.grid(nG = c(100,500,1000),
nE = c(10,30,50),

save(JOBS, file="/mnt/scratch/quantgen/TENSOR_EVD/pipeline/parms/JOBS1.RData")To perform all the \(3\times3\times3\times3\times10=810\) cases (each row of the object JOBS) we submitted the R-script for multi-job implementation by specifying in the script header a job array through the SLURM option #SBATCH --array=1-810, each value of the array is read in the R-code with the instruction Sys.getenv("SLURM_ARRAY_TASK_ID").
The output file simulation_results.txt generated after running the previous R-script contains at each row the results from each experiment case. The information of the experiment are given in the first columns followed by the results on computation time, approximation accuracy (measured with the Frobenius and CMD metrics), and the number of eigenvectors (associated to the \(\alpha\)-value) for the eigen() and tensorEVD() methods.

#print(figure3)We analyzed each trait (grain yield, anthesis, silking, and anthesis-silking interval) with a Gaussian reaction norm \(G\times E\) model (Jarquín et al. 2014) in which the trait phenotype (\(y_{ijk}\)) is modeled as the sum of the main effect of hybrid (\(G_i\)), main effect of environment (\(E_j\)), and the hybrid\(\times\)environment interaction (\(GE_{ij}\)) term, this is
\[ y_{ijk} = \mu + G_i + E_j + GE_{ij} + \varepsilon_{ijk}. \]
Above, \(\mu\) is an intercept and \(i\), \(j\), and \(k\) are indices for the hybrids, environment, and replicate, respectively. The term \(\varepsilon_{ijk}\) is an error term assumed to be independently and identically Gaussian distributed as \(\varepsilon_{ijk} \sim N(0,\sigma_{\varepsilon}^2)\), with \(\sigma_{\varepsilon}^2\) variance parameter associated to the error. Hybrid, environment, and interaction effects were assumed to be multivariate normally distributed with zero mean and effect-specific covariance matrices, specifically \(\textbf{G}\sim MVN(\textbf{0},\sigma_G^2 \textbf{K}_G)\), \(\textbf{E}\sim MVN(\textbf{0},\sigma_E^2 \textbf{K}_E)\), and \(\textbf{GE}\sim MVN(\textbf{0},\sigma_{GE}^2 \textbf{K})\), where
\[ \textbf{K} = (\textbf{Z}_1\textbf{K}_G\textbf{Z}'_1)\odot(\textbf{Z}_2\textbf{K}_E\textbf{Z}'_2) \]
is a Hadamard product between the GRM \(\textbf{K}_G\) and the ERM \(\textbf{K}_E\), and \(\sigma_G^2\), \(\sigma_E^2\), and \(\sigma_{GE}^2\) are variance parameters associated to \(\textbf{G}\), \(\textbf{E}\) and \(\textbf{GE}\), respectively.
We used a ‘BRR’ equivalence of the above model by fitting the model
\[ \boldsymbol{y} = \boldsymbol{\mu}+\textbf{X}_G\boldsymbol{\beta}_1+\textbf{X}_E\boldsymbol{\beta}_2 + \textbf{X}_{GE}\boldsymbol{\beta}_3 + \boldsymbol{\varepsilon} \]
where the predictors \(\textbf{X}_G\), \(\textbf{X}_E\), and \(\textbf{X}_{GE}\) are the scaled eigenvectors of the covariance matrices \(\textbf{K}_G\), \(\textbf{K}_E\), and \(\textbf{K}\), respectively, and the regression coefficients are assumed to be distributed \(\boldsymbol{\beta}_1\sim MVN(\textbf{0},\sigma_{G}^2 \textbf{I})\), \(\boldsymbol{\beta}_2\sim MVN(\textbf{0},\sigma_{E}^2 \textbf{I})\), and \(\boldsymbol{\beta}_3\sim MVN(\textbf{0},\sigma_{GE}^2 \textbf{I})\). First, we obtained the decomposition \(\textbf{K}_G=\textbf{V}_1\textbf{D}_1\textbf{V}'_1\) and \(\textbf{K}_E=\textbf{V}_2\textbf{D}_2\textbf{D}'_2\) using the eigen R-function. Next, for a given proportion \(\alpha\) of variance, we obtained the decomposition of the Hadamard \(\tilde{\textbf{K}}_{\alpha} = \tilde{\textbf{V}}_{\alpha}\tilde{\textbf{D}}_{\alpha}\tilde{\textbf{V}}_{\alpha}\) using the eigen() and tensorEVD() approaches. Finally, we derived the scaled eigenvectors \(\textbf{X}_G = \textbf{V}_1\textbf{D}_1^{1/2}\), \(\textbf{X}_E = \textbf{V}_2\textbf{D}_2^{1/2}\), and \(\tilde{\textbf{X}}_{GE,\alpha} = \tilde{\textbf{V}}_{\alpha}\tilde{\textbf{D}}_{\alpha}^{1/2}\). The later was done for values \(\alpha=0.90,0.95,0.98,1.00\).
The calculation of all these matrices was carried out using the R-script 2_model_components.R for a given \(\alpha\)-value. We replicated this task 5 times to obtain an average (and SD) computing time of the decomposition, to this end, we created a job array for each combination of parameters alpha and replicate as follows
JOBS <- expand.grid(alpha = c(0.90,0.95,0.98,1.00),
replicate = 1:5)
dim(JOBS); head(JOBS)

save(JOBS, file="/mnt/scratch/quantgen/TENSOR_EVD/pipeline/parms/JOBS2.RData")The script was submitted using a job array for the \(4\times5=20\) combination of parameters (each row of the object JOBS) using the SLURM option #SBATCH --array=1-20.

└── timing_EVD.txtThe \(G\times E\) model was implemented as a BRR using the BLRXy() function from the ‘BGLR’ R-package (Pérez-Rodríguez and de los Campos 2022) for each combination of trait, method, and \(\alpha\)-value, with 5 replicates each to present an average (and SD) of the results. The model was run for \(\alpha=1.0\) for the eigen method only. The BLRXy() function fits the model and generates samples from the posterior distribution of the regression coefficients \(\boldsymbol{\beta}_1\), \(\boldsymbol{\beta}_2\), and \(\boldsymbol{\beta}_3\) using the Gibbs sampler. We run the BGLR with nIter=50000 and burnIn=5000 parameters.
We implemented the model using the R-script 3a_fit_GxE_model.R for a given combination of parameters (trait, method, alpha, and replicate). We created an array with all combinations of parameters as follows

We used the sample files to obtain the total variance of hybrid (\(\textbf{X}_G\boldsymbol{\beta}_1^{(k)}\)), environment (\(\textbf{X}_E\boldsymbol{\beta}_2^{(k)}\)), hybrid\(\times\)environment interaction (\(\textbf{X}_{GE}\boldsymbol{\beta}_3^{(k)}\)), and error (\(\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}\)) terms in the BRR model, and reported the average across all samples. As we standardized the phenotype to have unit variance, these variances can be seen as the proportion of the phenotypic variance explained by each model component. We performed this task using the R-script 3b_get_variance_GxE_model.R using a job array for all the \(140\) jobs (each row in the object JOBS). The code will create a data.frame stored in the file VC.RData in the corresponding sub-folder in folder output/genomic_prediction/ANOVA.

We conducted a 10-fold cross-validation (CV) with hybrids assigned to folds. We predicted all the records of hybrids in the \(k^{th}\) fold using a model trained with all records from hybrids in the remaining 9 folds. The model was implemented for each combination of trait and method for \(\alpha=0.90,0.95,0.98\).

#6180 6277 6246 5785 6160 5858 5492 5660 5436 5975We implemented this CV using the R-script 4_10F_CV_GxE_model.R which fits the model for a given fold for a given combination of trait, method, and \(\alpha\)-value. To this end, we created an array with all combinations of parameters (trait, method, alpha, and fold) as follows
JOBS <- expand.grid(trait = c("yield","anthesis","silking","ASI"),
method = c("eigen","tensorEVD"),
alpha = c(0.90,0.95,0.98),
fold = 1:10)
dim(JOBS); head(JOBS)
#[1] 240 4
# trait method alpha fold
#1 yield eigen 0.9 1
#2 anthesis eigen 0.9 1
#3 silking eigen 0.9 1
#4 ASI eigen 0.9 1
#5 yield tensorEVD 0.9 1
#6 anthesis tensorEVD 0.9 1
save(JOBS, file="/mnt/scratch/quantgen/TENSOR_EVD/pipeline/parms/JOBS4.RData")The script was submitted using a job array for all the \(4\times2\times3\times10=240\) combination of parameters (each row of object JOBS) using the SLURM option #SBATCH --array=1-240. The outputs generated by the R-script are saved in folder output/genomic_prediction/10F_CV in a sub-folder corresponding to each trait, method, and alpha combination as shown below. Each file results_fold_*.RData contains a table with the predicted and observed values within each fold.

The following R-code can be used to calculate the within environment (column year_loc) correlation between observed and predicted phenotypes. The code will collect first the results in files results_fold_*.RData for all folds from each job (a combination of trait, method, and alpha). The results from all jobs are to be saved in a single table.
