Bray's monograph considers the multivariate form of analysis of variance (MANOVA). The primary emphasis of the book is on methods for interpreting MANOVA statistical analyses. These are illustrated through the use of two numerical examples: one involves a small, hypothetical data set, which can be analyzed by the reader with minimal effort; the other involves real data and shows how MANOVA can be used in actual research. MANOVA represents a logical extension of Analysis of Variance by Iversen and Norpoth (QASS 1).

Omnibus MANOVA Tests
The omnibus or overall MANOVA test is the first step in the MANOVA procedure. It is analogous to the overall F test in ANOVA. In the univariate case this F test is the uniformly most powerful invariant test of the overall null hypothesis if its assumptions are met. However, in MANOVA there is no single invariant test ...
