Multivariate Analysis of Variance

摘要: Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) is an omnibus procedure that allows for the contemporaneous more than one dependent variable. Dependent variables are outcome variables, or criteria, a research design. Performance on neuropsychological tests—memory scores, reaction time, processing speed, number words generated tests word fluency—can all serve as variables. Interestingly, these often reversed and used independent predictors, when interpreting results significant MANOVA. And, scores occasionally in their own right. For example, can empirically (e.g., median split) dichotomize performance any measure, say then compare persons who “slow” “fast” (the independent, grouping variable) other
