2. © Copyright 2000, Julia Hartman 2 ANCOVA (GLM): Introduction Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) is used: To assess the joint significance of predictors on a continuous outcome (GLM approach) To generate prediction equations for various levels of a categorical predictor (regression approach) Next

3. © Copyright 2000, Julia Hartman 3 ANCOVA (GLM): Introduction This tutorial uses the General Linear Model (GLM) approach to ANCOVA to determine whether MCAT scores are significantly different among medical students who had different types of undergraduate majors, when adjusted for year of matriculation. Next
