Module statsmodels, [... WARNING] interaction term is categorical about genipe HOT 1 CLOSED

These are just normal warnings.

The first warning ("interaction term is categorical") means that the model includes an interaction between genotype and environment, where the environment is a categorical variable (e.g. sex, treatment, etc.). Since we only return one value for each marker, the results will be returned only for the last category. This is not an issue if the variable has 2 categories (i.e. results for sex=1), but you might lose information when the variable has more than 2 categories.

The second warning ("mixedlm optimization cannot be performed") is because we use an optimization to speed up repeated measurements analysis. This optimization doesn't when using an interaction. The analysis will still work, but will be considerably slower. See the linear mixed effects model in the documentation for more information about the optimization.

Thank you for using genipe!
