Re: st: How to perform a non parametric manova

["Michael N. Mitchell" <Michael.Norman.Mitchell@gmail.com>]

Dear Ama

  There have been some extremely useful answers to your question so far, and it might be 
completely settled. I don't know if anyone asked about the motivation for doing the 
non-parametric anova. I could see it being related to at least two different reasons...

  1) The outcome variable is not measured on an interval scale (is ordinal).

  2) There is question about meeting assumptions of the manova model, in terms of 
normality, homogeneity of variance, etc... especially if combined with small sample sizes.

  Perhaps letting us know about the underlying motivations for the selection of this 
model could help inform further useful information.

Best regards,

Michael N. Mitchell
