st: O'Brien's umbrella test
Statalisters
We have recently posted umbrella.ado on the IDEAS RePEc database. This
program performs O'Brien's (1984) Umbrella Test (also known as O'Brien's
Multiple Endpoints Test). It is used to test whether a continuous
response vector differs between groups of subjects and may be used as a
non-parametric alternative to Hotelling's T test. It is particularly
useful when each dependent variable denotes an outcome in which higher
values are better than lower values or vice versa.
