Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) - Summary
Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) is an extension of common analysis of variance (ANOVA). In ANOVA, differences among various group means on a single-response variable are studied. In MANOVA, the number of response variables is increased to two or more. The hypothesis concerns a comparison of vectors of group means. When only two groups are being compared, the results are identical to Hotelling’s T² procedure
