Subject   st: St: Inconsistency(?) in MANOVA and XTPCSE results
Date   Tue, 3 Aug 2004 17:52:06 +0200

Dear Statalist,

  I am using using MANOVA to see whether mean yield changes with farming
system (bet subject factor) and if these changes are influenced by time
(interaction of farming sys and time). Based on the results (see below),
there is no significant difference for both variables. But I run an xtpcse
with these same variables, i.e. cat* (farming system), and the Tcat1&Tcat2
as the interaction variables. But the results say both have significant
effect. In addition to that, after xtpcse, I test whether cat1=cat2 and I
get high p value so as to accept the Ho. How can that be when the results
just say each category is significantly influencing yield.

  I am wondering whether my mistake is in the program or in the
interpretation (or both?). I would highly appreciate your help.
