MANOVA Mechanics

MANOVA is a multivariate generalization of ANOVA, so there are analogous parts to the simpler ANOVA equations First lets revisit Anova Anova tests the null hypothesis H 0 :  1 =  2 … =  k How do we determine whether to reject?

SS Total = SS bg = SS wg =

Steps to MANOVA When you have more than one IV the interaction looks something like this: SS bg breaks down into main effects and interaction

With one-way anova our F statistic is derived from the following formula

Steps to MANOVA The multivariate test considers not just SS b and SS w for the dependent variables, but also the relationship between the variables Our null hypothesis also becomes more complex. Now it is

With Manova we now are dealing with matrices of response values –Each subject now has multiple scores, there is a matrix, as opposed to a vector, of responses in each cell –Matrices of difference scores are calculated and the matrix squared –When the squared differences are summed you get a sum-of- squares-and-cross-products-matrix (S) which is the matrix counterpart to the sums of squares. –The determinants of the various S matrices are found and ratios between them are used to test hypotheses about the effects of the IVs on linear combination(s) of the DVs –In MANCOVA the S matrices are adjusted for by one or more covariates

We’ll start with this matrixNow consider the matrix product, X'X. The result (product) is a square matrix. The diagonal values are sums of squares and the off-diagonal values are sums of cross products. The matrix is an SSCP (Sums of Squares and Cross Products) matrix. So Anytime you see the matrix notation X'X or D'D or Z'Z, the resulting product will be a SSCP matrix.

Manova Now our sums of squares goes something like this T = B + W Total SSCP Matrix = Between SSCP + Within SSCP Wilk’s lambda equals |W|/|T| such that smaller values are better (less effect attributable to error)

We’ll use the following dataset We’ll start by calculating the W matrix for each group, then add them together –The mean for Y1 group 1 = 3, Y2 group 2 = 4 W = W 1 + W 2 + W 3 Group Y1 Y Means

So We do the same for the other groups Adding all 3 gives us

Now the between groups part The diagonals of the B matrix are the sums of squares from the univariate approach for each variable and calculated as:

The off diagonals involve those same mean differences but are the products of the differences found for each DV

Again T = B + W And now we can compute a chi-square statistic* to test for significance

Same as we did with canonical correlation (now we have p = number of DVs and k = number of groups)
