Abstract: | Es using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) usually want to analyze effects separately for each response variable after rejecting a null hypothesis of multivariate dispersion. From the standpoint of the multivariate general linear model, 4 measures of importance for response variables are discussed: univariate F statistic for each response, standardized canonical coefficient for each response, contribution to the MANOVA test criterion by each response, and simultaneous confidence intervals on estimates of treatment effects on each response. Artificial data are presented to illustrate problems in using these measures. (17 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
