A Comparison of the Applicability and Effectiveness of ANOVA with MANOVA for Use in the Operational Evaluation of Command and Control Systems.

摘要

This research addresses the problem of developing a usable methodology with which to compare the effectiveness of univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) with multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), on the basis of powers of the tests, for use in comparative operational testing. The scope of the research was limited by considering only completely-crossed designs; two-factor, fixed-effects models; equal cell sample sizes; and no effect due to operators. In addition, it was assumed that an estimate of the multiresponse correlation matrix is available.
