An explicit statement of a statistic which is a nonparametric analog to one-way MANOVA is presented. The statistic is a multivariate extension of the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test (1952). In addition two post hoc procedures are developed and compared. (Author/JKS)

The need for multiple comparison procedures for repeated measures means employing a pooled estimate of error variance to conform to the sphericity assumptions of the design in order to provide a valid test is discussed. An alternative approach which does not require this assumption is presented. (Author/JKS)

A particular strategy for investigating effects from a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) is proposed. The strategy involves multiple two-group multivariate analyses. The analysis strategy is described in detail and illustrated with real data sets. (Author/JKS)

The use of analysis of covariance in simple repeated measures designs is considered. Conditions necessary for the analysis of covariance adjusted main effects and interactions to be meaningful are presented. (Author/JKS)

Two major and two minor principles are shown to serve to generate a large number of multivariate models, including canonical analysis, factor analysis, and latent trait test theory. The statistical underpinnings of the theory are discussed. (Author/JKS)

STATGRAPHICS, a statistical package written for the IBM PC/XT/AT, is reviewed. In addition to superb graphics, STATGRAPHICS is unequalled in time series procedures, quality control, linear programming, and other mathematical procedures. The modules for regression analysis, categorical data analysis, and nonparametric analysis are good, but contain…
