The effect of grouping variables on several dependent variables may be examined by the multivariate analysis of variance. The dependent variales are given by the parameter DEPENDENT. The grouping variables are defined in the same way as in the univariate case, e.g. ANOVA IEADATA,20 DEPENDENT=Knowldge,Comprehn,Applicat,Mentalpr GROUPING=Attitude,Sex Sex=1(Boys),2(Girls) The interactions in the model may be defined by parameters INCLUDED or EXCLUDED as in univariate case. There are two ways in which hypotheses may formed depending on parameter HFORM: HFORM=0: main effect A is tested after the main effect S is included in the model, interaction AS is ignored HFORM=1: instead of testing main effect A alone, the interaction AS is included in the hypothesis as in the univariate case (DEFAULT). Predicted values of dependent variables or residuals cannot be computed or saved yet!
