GEBVtest Software
The GEBV test is a validation procedure described in the Interbull Code of Practice, Appendix X.
This software consists of two programs (gtconvert.py and gebvtest.py) and little utility module used by those programs (ibutils.py).
Some sample data is also provided to test the correct functioning of the programs.
Note: In the future, organizations may prefer to prepare the data for the gebvtest.py program directly, bypassing the creation of the legacy file formats and the gtconvert.py program.
Installation
The programs have been tested under Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.2. As a minimum you will need to have these extra python modules installed on your system: NumPy and, just for Python 2.6, argparse.
Download the attached gebvtest20130129.zip file.
Create a working directory and unzip the zip file in that directory. Two subdirectories will be created, programs and sample data. Typing
python gebvtest.py --help
from a command line prompt, from within the programs directory, should print a brief help message if the installation has been successful.

Sample data for program testing
Some sample data for breed HOL and population ABC are available in the sample_data directory. The two programs can be run from the programs directory as follows:
python gtconvert.py -v hol abc ../sample_data python gebvtest.py -v -m hol abc ../sample_data
The outputs should match those in the source zip file.
