If both multi-way and one-way analyses are requested in the same ANOVA operation then the error mean square used in multi-way univariate analysis is automatically transformed to one-way analyses (e.g. multiple comparison of means), e.g. ANOVA IEADATA,END+2 DEPENDENT=KNowldge GROUPING=Attitude,Sex MEANS=A,S,AS METHOD=Tukey(s) The families for multiple comparisons are defined by MEANS statement using the initials of grouping variables. If the design involves several sizes of experimental units then several error terms are needed. Therefore, the user has the possibility to define by the EMS statement which mean squares form the error term while a specific main effect or interaction is tested, e.g. EMS=A[AB],C[AC+ABC] states that the interaction AB is used as the error term while the main effects of A are tested. When the main effects of C are tested then the error term is formed from interactions AC and ABC. If one-way analyses are performed at the same time, these error terms are automatically used in those analyses.
